    Verdict

    One Lucky Lady has won twice on the Flat, a jumpers' bumper, and scored three times over hurdles. She's been a bit outclassed on her last two starts over timber but should find this more to her liking on her chasing debut. Hallings Comet landed a maiden hurdle here in September before finishing tailed off in a Listed hurdle at Kempton. He doesn't have a jumping pedigree unlike Falcarragh, who completed a hat-trick over timber last summer before being well beaten when raised in grade. DRUM VALLEY needs good going and can take this providing the going doesn't soften up as his close second in a tough Aintree handicap hurdle in October is the stand-out form.
