Both Phoenix Approach and PUCKLE are penalised having got off the mark over course and distance in the two divisions of the same handicap eight days ago. Mark Johnston’s filly recorded the faster time and is getting 9lb and she also looks the most progressive so gets the nod. Luck On Sunday has scope having had just the three runs but she recorded her best performance to date over 1m4f here last time. Thomas Cranmer and Whatwouldyouknow make most appeal of the older horses
