Verdict

SHANTOU LUCKY was rated much higher than this over fences at his peak and arrives on the back of comfortable victories over the smaller obstacles at Fontwell/Worcester. He should take plenty of beating. My Virtue and I Am Rocco may give him most to think about.

6	Well backed and made a mockery of a career-low mark when easily taking Fontwell handicap hurdle (21.8f) on debut for James Owen 9 days ago. Just 7 lb higher, back over fences, and holds obvious claims. Engaged 5.00 Worcester Monday. 1st Pick 6 Shantou Lucky (Ire) Jockey: Nathan Howie Trainer: James Owen J: Nathan Howie T: James Owen	100	-	-	-	56%	4/5
