LIGHT N STRIKE produced his most encouraging effort for current yard when fourth at Newton Abbot on his return last month and, having dropped below his last winning mark, he could be ready to get his head back in front. Riskintheground has worked his way back to form this spring and is feared most, ahead of the hat-trick seeking Somespring Special.
