Verdict

GREEN LIGHTNING is gradually improving and McCoy's presence in the saddle today suggests connections think he is finally ready to open his account. He's getting 16lb from Mount Vesuvius, placed twice here last month in this grade. Present Accepted was second over 2m1f at Exeter two runs ago but ran a shocker upped in distance at Wincanton and has something to prove now. Haveumistim showed a bit more at Ffos Las last time and may be best of the rest.
