Succession is a typical Sir Mark Prescott improver and can land the hat-trick at the expense of I'm So Lucky and Algorithm. The selection has landed two competitive nurseries, the first over course and distance and the second over a slightly shorter trip at Yarmouth. The handicapper may still not have this one in his grasp and another victory looks on the cards. I'm So Lucky has earned top-weight with a victory in a decent maiden at Warwick back in July. The placed horses Group Captain and Justaquestion have given the form numerous boosts, so if the Johnston colt isn't lacking any fitness he will be a major threat. Algorithm has strong each-way claims following some good recent efforts, however Succession knows how to win and can make it three in a row.
