What we lean towardsopen race
Too close to split with conviction. Luck Between Us just shades it from Lock Stock on the size of its price drops.
Novice Hurdle over 2m5f on good going. Luck Between Us and Lock Stock separate by very little. We rate 7 of the 10 declared; the other 3 lack enough recent form for us to judge.
