J'Adhere's slide down the ratings was rewarded by a close-up fourth at this track last time. He'll be in the mix with a similar effort today but preference goes to LUCKY LANDING. Tony Coyle's winning chaser is rated much lower over hurdles and he took advantage when landing a novice event by six lengths over 2m3f here last month. Teo Vivo had little chance against a couple of higher rated rivals at Wetherby but ran well for third last time and he makes more appeal than Beckhani, who has yet to match his bumper form in a couple of starts over timber. Around A Pound finished fourth at this track last month and that looks superior form to Velvet Vic's recent second at Sedgefield.
