    Verdict

    This looks between the two winners with OLD FLAME having the more recent form. Ralph Beckett’s colt beat a previous winner when scoring at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago and should have the edge over Lightening Company. The latter made a winning debut at Carlisle but that was back in May while Pixie Carter and Bachau have yet to show any worthwhile form.
