In depth

Verdict

Lucky Flight was discovered to have an irregular heartbeat after pulling up at Ayr in a race in which Fourth Of July finished third. He’s had a break since and wouldn’t be running here if Lucinda Russell had any doubts about his well-being. A winner on his only previous run here, he has the ability to go close again. Thisonesforollie has placed the last twice but is now 0-17 over fences and HASANKEY is more interesting having come up against a well-treated favourite on his chasing bow at Cartmel.
