In depth

Verdict

SUPREMELY LUCKY is the most exposed but is impossible to oppose reverting to novice company after a fine run in a competitive handicap at Warwick, where he was just denied. Mister Tickle looks the one for forecast-backers as he was in the process of running a good race at Kempton when unseating his rider and was then a fair fifth at Ludlow. Another winning pointer, Peter's Portrait, showed promise on his debut under Rules at Wetherby and looks best of the rest.
