LUCKY PLACE created a taking impression when opening his account over hurdles at Doncaster 24 days ago, and with the prospect of more to come, he earns the vote to follow up under a penalty. Insurrection, who finished runner-up in Grade 2 company latest, rates the chief threat. Golden Ace, who was fairly useful in bumpers, is another to note now hurdling.
