LUCKY FIFTEEN included a course and distance success in his recent hat-trick. He looks worth sticking with despite a further rise given he beat a subsequent winner on his latest start. Graignes won an apprentices race at Sandown and escapes a penalty. He’s preferred to Mr Professor and recent Windsor winner Lawn Ranger but Silastar returns to Turf with a shout. Crack Shot faced a tough task here on his handicap debut and is worth a second glance.
