Paseo was a very disappointing favourite at Southwell last month and has been raised a further 2lb since. Famous Last Word has been hard to train but No Hubs No Hoobs came good over course and distance on Boxing Day and Freddie Gingell takes off 7lb again. A winner between the flags, MY BAD LUCY has looked progressive since switching to fences and this is a slightly weaker race than this one in which he finished third at Doncaster in November.
