LUCCIA's close relation, Hooper, has done well for the same connections, so it's worth chancing the filly to make a winning start getting weight all round even before Ben Ffrench Davis' claim is factored in. Blow Your Wad and Fairly Famous are both well bred with bumpers in mind and should be clued up, so they're likely to provide formidable opposition.
