Bahuta Acha beat Lucky Lodge and End Zone when scoring over track and trip a fortnight ago and should make another bold bid given Lucky Lodge went on to win at Newcastle last week. Dana Forever was beaten only a nose over 5f here recently and Lezardrieux went close over the same distance at Pontefract but CHOOKIE DUNEDIN (NAP) was beaten less than a length at Ayr. That bodes well for today’s attempt as Keith Dalgleish’s charge has won four of only six starts at this venue and is back on a winning mark.
