      Verdict

      LUCKY LUCKY MAN has to give 7lb or more away to all of his rivals on this seasonal reappearance but he impressed on his final juvenile outing when scoring with plenty in hand in a Carlisle nursery. That success came on heavy ground but he's also proven on the all-weather surface at Wolverhampton and is taken to score with the Fahey yard in good form presently. Shanghai Elastic has looked green on both starts but fitness is guaranteed and she has plenty of scope. Bustam and Coastal Drive have good form at this level but neither has tackled this minimum trip before and they've had a few chances.
