LIGHTENING COMPANY found a chunk of improvement to land a second C&D success last month and this uncomplicated sort should have no problem with quicker conditions. He can make it back-to-back victories in this race for his trainer/jockey, with thriving Winds of Winter feared most following her strong-travelling success over C&D last time. Saligo Bay chased home Winds of Winter that day but is now 4 lb 'better off' and showed himself still in good form on the Flat earlier this month.
