LUCKY LANDING was caught on the line in a novices' handicap at Carlisle on Thursday. He can gain quick compensation here as Stormy Oscar is probably best watched on his first start for Jamie Snowden while Rain Mac was an early faller when Bowie was a one-paced second at Towcester last month. Tipsy Gypsy was a fair third at Catterick on his hurdling debut and is a winner between the flags but he may not have the pace for this.
