Formscan - Caturra Lights scored off an opening rating of 74 at Carlisle recently and is respected for the Adrian Keatley team, but it may pay to side with NOUR. The daughter of Dandy Man has improved with each of her three appearances, getting off the mark over 6f at Southwell on her most recent start, and this drop to the minimum distance shouldn't pose her any problems. Hickory Lad is another to note.
