ECHO OF LIGHTNING (NAP) has 4lb extra for making all over the track and trip last week when dropped into this grade for the first time since 2015. The assessor has put him up 8lb so he's well in and can complete a quick double. Muatadel has slowly dropped to a mark he should be winning from but The Big House is 9lb higher than when landing a Thirsk seller in July. Retirement Beckons has been running well all summer and is still on a fair mark but Geography Teacher is a Southwell specialist.
