      Verdict

      LUCKY FLIGHT has won twice around here, both over hurdles, and has surprisingly been dropped 1lb after a very good second here last month. Dubai Days was in fine form over hurdles last winter, winning three times, and gained his first success over fences at Ayr last month though that was over 2m4f. Pitempton Power scored over this trip at Carlisle then over 2m4f at Musselburgh but an 8lb rise and a longer trip put paid to his hat-trick prospects here last month. Stable companion Peterborough completed a hat-trick in 2020 but is still suffering in the weights while Sword Of Fate went up 6lb for a comfortable victory at Perth and hasn't shown the same form subsequently.
