Verdict

After he shed his maiden tag with an authoritative success at Wincanton just four days ago, LIGHTLY SQUEEZE can go in again with the step up in trip offering the chance of further improvement to come from this relatively unexposed five-year-old. The chief danger to the selection looks to be Twenty Twenty who, like the selection, has also been in consistent form this year. He bumped into the upwardly mobile Pagero when runner-up at Huntingdon recently and should be thereabouts once more. The Paul Nicholls-trained Starsky is likely to win races at this level and can run a promising race on handicap debut as he steps up in trip beyond 2m1f for the first time.
  1. Lightly Squeeze
