Timeform Review

Time: 124.85s Closing Sectional: (3.00f): 36.30s

LIGHTENING MANN close up, led around 4f out, tackled under 2f out, joined final 1f.

A fairly useful 3-y-o handicap that saw 3 come a little way clear, the first 2 already up and running for the season and that giving them the edge over the third, who remains the best prospect.
