LORD LUSO is very lightly-raced and almost opened his account here two weeks ago in a better contest. His stable is in the midst of a purple patch and, despite a 4lb rise in the weights, he looks the one to beat if the hood works a second time. Andy Vic was third at Catterick off this mark last month and can reverse earlier running at that course with Cara Court while old Scriptwriter should do better now that the ground is drying out. Fellow veteran Oniz Tiptoes is usually thereabouts at this level but Ballymartin King needs some help from the handicapper.
