The Kim Bailey yard has been relatively quiet so far this season but the indications are the stable is back in full flow and LOTS OF LUCK can prove the point by following up his convincing Taunton success on Sunday. He stayed on stoutly on just a second start over fences that day and the 6-y-o surely has plenty more progression to come. He can defy his penalty. Rizzardo, steadily getting his act together over fences, has plenty of weight to shoulder, with similar comments attributable to Mistercobar, whose very close second at Leicester last time earmarks him as the main danger for the in-form Olly Murphy. Consistent Picknick Park completes the shortlist.
