LUCKOFTHEDRAW can defy a penalty by registering his second course success in this opening novice hurdle. The selection shaped as if he'd appreciate this trip when winning here last time out and he can see off fellow penalised runner Oxwich Bay who drops in grade today while Another Emotion, runner-up on rules debut last time is another likely to improve for the step up in trip having placed in a point-to-point.
