Verdict
Lucky Flight is quirky and has had a break since finishing third at Perth in July. Sword Of Fate won at that track last month and a 6lb rise seems fair but Gripper has failed to complete in two runs over the larger obstacles so far. ARMATTIEKAN is back on a winning mark and will almost certainly run his race again so could be the answer to this.
