Sir Mark Prescott looks to have found a good opportunity for LUCK OF THE DRAW to follow up his recent maiden success. Making his Fibresand debut and stepping up in trip, the four-year-old landed the odds with the minimum of fuss over 1m3f and, with this longer distance in his favour and the promise of further improvement, he looks sure to start at short-odds once again. His task is made that much easier with his three rivals having shown nothing of late but Dunaskin has the past form to figure if back to his best and is preferred to Savaronola and Sweetest Of Peas.
