Lickpenny Larry is proving hard to place but is a pound lower than when last successful. Tidal Watch has lost his way and Darling Du Large also has plenty to prove at present while Royal Act is 13lb wrong in the weights and upped in grade. LOTS OF LUCK may not be a straightforward ride but he has won three times over fences and is usually thereabouts. Dropped 2lb since his latest third at Huntingdon, he is the one to beat.
