Verdict

DUE FOR LUCK is penalised for making a winning debut at Carlisle in June. But he beat three subsequent winners with plenty to spare and looks worth sticking with. Instant Recall posted his best effort so far in the Super Sprint at Newbury and is weighted to beat Fifty Grand Slater while Saint Matthew drops down in trip having made most of the running when second over 6f at Pontefract. South Shore is a newcomer to note.
