MICKEY MAC was comfortable enough in victory last time to suggest he can follow up in an open looking handicap and he is taken to do so with Lucky Art and Lost In Paris looking the dangers. Fast ground is ideal for the selection as he showed when scoring well at Nottingham last time. A 6lbs penalty is unlikely stop him and the booking of Kieran Fallon can only be a plus. Lucky Art has been on a progressive run of form and was only just denied off this rating last time. Given that last run he must be given due respect with the conditions looking no problem either. Lost In Paris ran better than the bare result suggested on his return and should build on that while Hitches Dubai is from a yard in form so despite some poor efforts might be interesting. Caribbean Coral may need this run but the jockey booking suggests otherwise so looks another for the list but in a tricky end to the card Micky Mac can follow up.
