Verdict
Luckofthedraw is well treated nowadays but hasn’t been in the best of form since a fifth at Market Rasen in the autumn. Duhallow Lad won nicely at Uttoxeter on Friday but will have 7lb extra if making a quick reappearance and the handicapper is finally starting to show some mercy to ECEPARTI. The latter ran well here at the start of the year when 5lb higher. Maypole Class was having only a second run over fences when winning at Bangor but those behind have not franked the form. Alrightjack needs more and may have preferred a slower surface but Mortens Leam has claims, though is probably a few pounds too high at present.
