Verdict

LIGHTS GO DOWN had been showing some promise before failing to fire in the mud on his handicap debut at Ayr and this fair Flat performer is taken bounce back in style under these much less testing conditions. Last year's victor Klitschko could emerge as the main danger, although C&D scorer Tellhimlisten and handicap debutant King Sacre can also have a say in this open contest.
