In depth
Verdict
A moderate contest with Lucky Time heading the weights. He is sure to have support with the champion aboard, but he will have his work cut out to beat Lakeside Lad, who made Ashgar pull out all the stops at Uttoxeter. Ibin St James is well handicapped on his hurdles form, but he has yet too show much over fences.
