Default potting on compost

Any recommendations for a compost to pot-on tomatoes that is not too heavy,

I've usually used J Arthur Bowers 'seed and potting', but it's difficult to
get locally and necessitates a 25 mile round trip to the nearest place to
buy, whereas I have about three or four garden centres, a B&Q & a Homebase
within a 10 mile trip to buy an alternative. I tried one different one a
couple of years ago when I couldn't find the JAB, and the water just ran
through (can't remember what it was called unfortunately).


Very happy with New Horizon (peat free) grow bag compost. Which?
recommendation.
