Verdict

Venetia Williams has her time in such good shape at the moment that it is hard to look past LUCKIME who trounced his rivals at Catterick before crashing out at Carlisle last time. He looks more progressive than the majority of these with the notable exception of Robert's Star. Mark Bradstock's runner has significantly raised his game since different tactics have been employed, but his revised mark for his latest success appears harsh. Late Shipment and Midnight Request would have every chance if back to their best, but The Cider Maker has too many questions to answer.
