In depth
Verdict
Drawn out wide, talking horse Leo's Luckyman, has it all to prove. Zandicular, looks to have it all to do with Takes Tutu, on York running, but his dam, a half-sister to Derby winner High Rise, was a winner over middle-distances, and he looks sure to improve for the step up in trip. Takes Tutu doesn't look the easiest of rides and is probably one to take on. This step up in trip may improve him, and if it does he could prove to be well treated. Prince Hector is better than he showed at Headquarters, while Gallant Boy, stepping into handicap company, will be a threat to all. Celtic Ballet, from the same family as St Leger winner Light Cavalry, is sure to appreciate the step up in trip. She would certainly have been thereabouts last time, had she anything like a clear run and is taken to land her most valuable prize to date.
