Division 1 of this Class 4 handicap is a thoroughly interesting race with a couple of horses arriving seeking a hat-trick, and a number of others with seemingly realistic chances. Astrospeed has proved a revelation since joining James Fanshawe, and has clearly appreciated the combination of a hood and a step up in trip. He remains unexposed on turf and should be thereabouts (preferred over Vixen). Human Nature makes plenty of each-way appeal from his last winning turf mark and shouldn't be dismissed lightly, but the reasonably progressive THE LAMPLIGHTER gets the narrow nod after taking another positive step forward behind stablemate La Maquina at Kempton (7f) last month.
