ALBEGONE and Good Luck Fox were both unplaced behind Cuban Breeze at Haydock but the winner has the worst of the draw here. Tim Easterby’s charge got no sort of run at the Lancashire track and can gain revenge today being 7lb better off. Leodis Dream is a course and distance winner who hasn’t been running badly but he also has a double-digit draw, as does another stablemate Prospect. King Of Tonga has been much more consistent since switching stables over the winter but might be back in the handicapper’s grip, though Declan Carroll puts blinkers on him today to freshen him up.
