A winner over hurdles at Market Rasen last week, LUCKY LANDING had finished a close-up fourth over fences at the same track before that. Dropping down a grade for this, Tony Coyle's charge is preferred to Mulligan's Man. The latter makes his handicap debut having been placed in novice events on the last four occasions and makes more appeal than stablemate Seedless. Another Flutter should also be in the mix on the back of recent placed efforts in handicaps and looks best of the rest.
