    Verdict

    Lightoller makes a quick reappearance after finishing second at Chepstow on Friday but looks thoroughly exposed. Always Thankful was making just her third career start when only beaten half-a-length at Pontefract last month and Bahamian Paradise likewise when second at Bath. Daring Guest showed some ability on Turf last year and won a Lingfield maiden in March but Brother In Arms was only fourth at Chelmsford last time having got off the mark at Kempton earlier. The penny has dropped with MAN ABOUT TOWN and, raised only 2lb since completing back-to-back wins at Newcastle, Karl Burke’s charge can complete the hat-trick ahead of consistent all-weather performer Delfie Lane.
