LUCKY LOVER BOY followed a narrow-margin victory at Newcastle with a more comfortable success at Huntingdon and is progressing well enough to defy a double penalty. The hat-trick beckons for Oliver Greenall’s charge though Catterick novice winner Pink Legend should go well back at this level having struggled in a tough handicap at Aintree recently. Constancio has gone off the boil since winning at Doncaster in January and Cosheston was still beaten a long way when placed at Carlisle but Court Jurado should be sharper for a recent outing at Kelso and may finish closer.
