Went up 8lb for for her emphatic success at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in April; ran with credit when third of six at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) the following month, but well beaten at Sandown (1m2f, good) last time; only 2lb lower and probably needs further than this now.

Lighty raced for her age and made quite promising seasonal debut when third at Lingfield (1m2f) in April but ought to have been well suited by the good to soft turf when below that form at Ffos Las (1m4f; favourite) last month and has a point to prove here.

200,000gns breeze-up 2yo; well held in her first four starts but she found lots of improvement upped to 1m4f when an easy winner of a Ffos Las handicap (good to soft) last month; this is a different test on quicker ground but a 6lb rise looks fair and she's a half-sister to a Listed winner on good to firm; major player.
