Verdict
Luckylover can overcome a six pound penalty at the expense of Picador and Pop Music. The selection was in winning form at Southwell last time out when winning off a mark of sixty five. Connections must be confident of a bold run as they are keen to carry the penalty rather than waiting to be reassesed. If running up to form he is the one to follow. Picador won back to back races at Wolverhampton and Southwell before finishing mid division back here last time out. He will now have four races in quick succession and on the evidence of his latest run his winning run has come to an end for the time being. Pop Music was in winning action over course and distance and now races off a six pounds higher mark. In effect its no different to him carrying a penalty so he has to be one to note in the betting market.But for the winner we returm to Luckylover.
