Verdict

Followers of Solar Impulse have had a profitable summer but the 11-year-old finished tailed off at Cartmel at the start of the week. LICKLIGHTER didn’t quite last home over an extended 3m1f at the Lakeland track last time and can take advantage of the 4lb he receives from the novice Rhythm Is A Dancer. Franz Klammer bids for a fourth course and distance win in a row but may struggle in this higher grade.
