LUCKY’S DREAM looks to have every chance of landing a hat-trick. He scored over track and trip when the re-opposing Wimpole Hall was well beaten and a penalty for a cosy success at Newcastle a week ago may not be enough to anchor him in this. The Game Is On has placed in both starts since winning at Wolverhampton in November but is upped a further 2lb while Normal Norman ran poorly at Kempton last time though is back up in trip.
Lucky's Dream 7-4fav (9-6) Held up towards rear, switched right and headway over 2f out, went 2nd over 1f out, stayed on, led well inside final furlong, won at Newcastle 1m 2f hcp (5) pol in Feb beating Palavecino (9-7) by 1/2l, 12 ran.
Normal Norman 3-1 (9-1) Slowly into stride, held up last, quick move and wide on bend halfway, chased leaders and wide on home turn, pushed along over 2f out, ridden and weakened inside final 2f, last of 6, 7 1/4l behind Rangali Island (9-3) at Kempton 1m hcp (4) pol in Jan.
Wimpole Hall 5-1 (9-8) Slowly away in rear, headway on inner 4f out, not clear run and dropped to rear 3f out, rallied final furlong, 5th of 8, 7 1/4l behind Lucky's Dream (9-1) at Chelmsford City 1m 2f hcp (5) pol in Jan.
