Verdict

A competitive opener to this hastily arranged additional AW fixture, with Tapeta specialist Lucky Lodge on the shortlist from his last winning mark after a pleasing run behind the subsequent Wolverhampton winner Billyfairplay at Newcastle (6f) recently. Antony Brittain's 8yo is one of a number of in-form horses in the line-up which include Top Boy, Compas Scoobie and the wide drawn Swanton Blue. However, the selection is the Chris Dwyer-trained THE LACEMAKER. She has the assistance of talented 5lb claimer Darragh Keenan in the saddle, and has a healthy turnaround at the weights (for 2¾L) with her recent Chelmsford conqueror Compas Scoobie.
