Verdict
LUCKY LOVER BOY escapes a penalty for winning narrowly at Sedgefield last Tuesday and is worth sticking with. Finalshot has only gone up 3lb for last month’s course and distance success but Henri Le Bon is a 19-race maiden, though has found only one too good here the last twice. Couldbeaweapon is making his handicap debut so has more scope than most.
