It’s a while since Luckofthedraw showed any worthwhile form with a similar comment applying to Go Fox. Fabrique En France will have needed last month’s third at Uttoxeter, however, though he could struggle to cope with GARINCHA if the top weight puts a fall at Haydock behind him. Alto Alto was last of three when favourite at Newbury but should be capable of better.
