Verdict
A wide-open sprint with the speculative vote going to recent Chepstow winner GOLD CLUB after another good effort at Newbury. Be Lucky is 3lb higher than when scoring over track and trip last month and Tango Sky won a lower grade sprint at Redcar last time. Knockamany Bends has been raised 6lb for his recent win over 5f here and Steventon Star went close at Doncaster on his penultimate start. Both Ella's Delight and Teetotal have been thereabouts of late and Euxton has more scope than most of these.
