Verdict

LUCKY'S DREAM confirmed he retains ability on the back of a lengthy absence when finishing a close-up third at Salisbury recently, that despite not being seen to best effect off a steady gallop. Potentially very well handicapped, he could be worth chancing to build on that here. Charlie Arthur, third in this race 12 months ago, should be sharper for his Southwell reappearance and is feared, with Trojan Truth and Mrembo also worth a look.
