The booking of jockey Jack Kennedy catches the eye for Dot Love's LUCKY PAT and he can register a fourth victory in seven starts over hurdles by taking this competitive looking contest. The selection has been running well off his higher chase mark of late and is taken to see of My Direction who returned to form when finishing runner-up last time out while Vercingetorix, a new recruit for Patrick Griffin can take third today.
