In depth
Verdict
Plenty of exposed performers on view and it is to Strike Lucky we turn although One Way Ticket, Enjoy The Buzz and Indian Music provide competitive opposition. Peter Makin's representative won a weak maiden during the winter at Wolverhampton and now that he has had time off to strengthen up, he could be in off a light handicap mark. One Way Ticket has by far the best form on offer with a victory on the turf over stablemate Full Spate. A draw of sixteen is severely offputting this afternoon. Fellow Bradley raider Enjoy The Buzz posted a rare victory when taking a five furlong race at Lingfield Park. He would need to step up on his all-weather efforts to land this prize as the majority of his form has been in banded stakes contests. Indian Music is regularly thereabouts in these contests. He got going all too late here over course and distance on Friday and has no worries with regard to racefitness. Boisdale landed a banded race over course and distance but his backers will need to forgive a poor run at Leicester. Strike Lucky is our selection in the finale.
