ECHO OF LIGHTNING did things well enough over C&D three weeks ago to merit the suggestion he and Megan Nicholls can defy an extra 5lb here. The gelding has a decent strike rate at this sort of level and, in a small field, plenty of his rivals have questions to answer. Pepys rather blotted his copybook at Beverley last time out and comes with risks now while Alexandrakollontai's Redcar win came out of the blue and she's left with very little wiggle room off her revised rating. The Stalking Moon and Curzon Line appear most likely to thwart the selection on their best efforts this summer.
