Verdict

Seven Is Lucky is 16lb higher than when scoring over a shorter trip here last month and has some improving to do if he's to figure. There's also a question to be asked of Artic Night as he's failed to figure since landing a handicap at Carlisle in December, but last year's novice hurdle winner Crop Walker should have come on for his recent reappearance at Doncaster. RIGHT ENOUGH had previous winner Stormion behind when runner-up at Newcastle last month and he gets the nod to confirm running with the latter and go one better here.
