Verdict
Landucci is taken to get the better of Ivory Lace and Desert Dreamer in this handicap. The selection has plenty in his favour here and he is decent form at present. He has a fair draw and goes especially well on this track and in this weak contest he gets our vote. Desert Dreamer does have plenty of ability but he looked reluctant to go and win the race when he finished second behind Right Ted at Windsor last time and from his high draw he looks worth opposing. Ivory Lace may therefore give our selection the most to think about as she is in cracking form and she won well here last time. However, she is steadily rising in the weights and that may just find her out. Kings Heir hinted at a return to form last time and may prove best of the rest, but for the winner we will stick with Landucci.
