No recent winning form to consider but LUCKY BEGGAR finished closer over 6f at Catterick recently. He raced prominently on both occasions so this shorter trip should suit. Economic Crisis is back on a winning mark but would prefer some cut in the ground while Northern Society won twice off higher marks here last year and could go well. Requinto Dawn’s best recent efforts have been on the all-weather while True Hero finished in front of Bashiba at Beverley last time without threatening.
