Verdict

LIGHTS ON is a typical gradual improver for the Stoute yard and she could take her form to a new level once more having bolted up in a listed contest at Pontefract 17 days ago. Indigo Girl has a 9-month absence to overcome but, if she picks up where she left off last year, she'd give the selection plenty to think about. Waliyak isn't a forlorn hope, either.
