    Verdict

    Begin The Luck came up short at Newton Abbot bidding for a hat-trick over fences and it could pay to stick with LIVELY CITIZEN in this. The latter made a successful chasing debut at Perth a week ago and can defy a penalty having won off a higher mark over hurdles in the past. Full Of Light continues to struggle while Spanish Present and Balagan were both well beaten on their respective chasing bows.
