ONE LUCKY LADY was never getting to Hallings Comet at Worcester on her chasing bow but all three of her rivals that day have won since so the form looks very solid. Her jumping should be better here and she's hard to oppose. Mackeys Forge will be having his 25th start over fences and is still seeking a first win. He doesn't have a lot scope but is the one most likely to profit if something befalls the Henderson mare as In The Gate has failed to complete in his last three and Finch Flyer is very modest.
