Verdict
Arlecchino's latest second to Spes Nostra looks better in hindsight given the latter has won again since. He can figure in the finish racing off the same mark but KINDLELIGHT STORM is a winner without a penalty after picking up an apprentices' race here a week ago and is taken to record his fourth consecutive victory. Nick Littmoden's charge has beaten Yourinthewill on his last two outings and it should be a similar story here while India's Song also got the better of the latter when landing a seller at Lingfield last month.
