Verdict
Uttoxeter winner Rannoch Moor was well beaten off his new mark at Worcester on Friday but has to go on the short-list in this modest finale. Phoenix Lady was placed at Wetherby and Hexham before finishing tailed off at Cartmel, while Railway Park was second over C&D last month but has beaten in a seller since and is still a maiden after 33 starts under Rules. Flat winner Clueless could threaten off a low weight but Hereford winner LUCKY LUKEY still looks to be heading in the right direction and looks the one to beat under Sam Twiston-Davies.
