Verdict

Ofelia will need to be above average on her racecourse debut to come out best against three recent winners. Mr Matthews and Milly's Secret have similar profiles having both finished second on their introductions before landing maidens at Carlisle and Pontefract respectively. Neither are easily dismissed but a tentative vote goes to GOOD OLD BOY LUKEY as he attempts to become the third Richard Fahey-trained runner to win this in the last four years after romping home on his debut at Hamilton last month.
