LUCKY LANDING placed in a couple of Irish points last season before being picked up for £34,000 so while his top yard remains in form he looks the percentage call. The standard in the race is set by Vic Dartnall's Shammick Boy after a couple of decent efforts in defeat in Kempton bumpers so the gelding demands respect, as does Elton Fox after an encouraging debut over course and distance. Gallant Oscar looks the pick of the unraced entries with some nice relations but with him likely to need further Lucky Landing can win on rules debut.
