Verdict
Lucky Thirteen makes his handicap debut and should be suited by stepping up in trip after staying on over the minimum at Stratford. PROFOUNDLY has had 18 starts over timber without winning but ran easily her best race to date here a fortnight ago and the fact that she is 3lb lower gives her a fine chance of gaining that elusive first victory. Clara Peggotty was placed twice here in March then later found stepping up in trip beyond her while Chance Taken hasn't run since May and has yet to finish in the first two. Mrs Burbidge won a similar class handicap at Towcester in May but has yet to prove she stays this far.
