Luckofthedraw is 2-2 around here and Lord Sparky is seeking a seventh victory on the track but KAKAMORA is also a course winner and Tom George’s gelding is overdue a first success over the larger obstacles having placed off much higher marks in the past. Dan's Chosen was second over course and distance in January and still in touch when falling next time at Taunton so also has a squeak.
