Forecasts

Vegas Blue (1/1), Lucky's Dream (6/4), Isayalittleprayer (4/1), Getaway Honey (40/1), Perfect Percy (40/1), Ace Time (50/1), Darling Alko (66/1), Getaway Flyer (100/1), Lord Howard (150/1)

LUCKY'S DREAM looked better than ever when resuming winning ways on the Flat here 9 days ago and, if his stamina passes the test now tried in a bumper, he may have the measure of likely favourite Vegas Blue. Nicky Henderson's charge is 2-2 in this sphere and will offer stern resistance if on-song following an inauspicous display over hurdles at Sandown. Darling Alko is best of the rest.
