Soft going forced Caged Lightning to miss an engagement in a valuable handicap at Sedgefield yesterday and connections wouldn't want any more rain. In any case, Steve Gollings' charge looks too close in the weights to FLORRIE BOY (NAP), who hails from a yard that's hit form with a vengeance. He bolted up at Chepstow on Thursday under Jamie Bargary and can defy his penalty. None of the others have much recent form to recommend them and Upthemsteps is having his first run since the end of 2012.
