Lujeanie went close over 6f at Kempton but has done all his winning so far over the latter distance. HOY HOY (NAP) is preferred given he won over 7f at Chepstow last term off a higher mark and has a recent outing at Wolverhampton under his belt. Living Leader won a claimer over track and trip in November and has a chance on that form but both McDelta and Sunshine Always missed the whole of last year having ended 2013 in good form.
