MORE THAN LUCK routed his field in a chase at Taunton in November and also ran well from a similar mark to today's last time. Back over hurdles, he may have been found another good opportunity here. Minella Gathering has trip and ground to his liking and has to be taken very seriously after his win last time given that his jockey's clim negates the 3lb rise. Phoeniciana handles the ground and a better round of jumping would give her a squeak, while Cornish Warrior has the ability to have a say but he does have to prove himself in these conditions.
