Verdict

Lucky Flight is a bit of an enigma but capable when in the mood. Fourth Of July won this last year, easily beating Lastin' Memories. But the runner-up is now a massive 16lb better off, though was nine lengths behind THE BIG JETAWAY at Sedgefield last time and Donald McCain’s six-year-old can improve again now he’s got his head in front. Anightinlambourn is a possible improver and Here We Have It is 7lb better off with Wheelbahri than when beaten four lengths at Catterick with both having won since.
