      Verdict

      Both Ride The Lightning and WAPPING look up to winning at this level. But the former still showed signs of inexperience when third at Kempton last time and David Lanigan's charge is preferred on his second at Beverley. Press Gang has a bit to find on these terms with the above pair and was still well beaten when placed on his last couple of starts while Hygrove Percy has yet to encounter fast ground and Manjaam needs to improve to figure which is something he failed to do last time.
