        In depth

        Verdict

        Luckylover is in the form of his life and gets the confident vote to continue on the upward curve with Sotik Star and Genari rating the main dangers. The selection won with plenty in hand last time out when beating Orpen Wide and although another six pounds higher he will be hard to beat from a good draw and he is taken to make all. Sotik Star rates the main danger on his best form but the suspicion is he may need the run after an 147-day absence. Genari is another that could go well but he ran as if in the handicappers grip last time and he is taken on with this in mind. Of the remainder, Yakimov is from a shrewd in-form yard and is worth a cautionary look in the market, but for the winner we are happy to return to the progressive Luckylover.
