SOMETHING LUCKY went up 8lb after completing a hat-trick on this course in January and was conceding Archimedes 10lb when beaten in a three-way photo on his next start. He's continued to run well at Wolverhampton and returns here with a good chance of getting back to winning ways. Crosse Fire finished runner-up in that former event and is also reasonably handicapped, though he's on a long losing run. The three-year-old Sir Hector has been going well on Polytrack but faces older horses for the first time while Run With Pride has only run here once and was well beaten.
