Verdict
LAKE VIEW LAD has been winning novice chase handicaps including his latest start in testing ground at Haydock. He makes most appeal racing off a similar mark today. Cooking Fat went close at Kelso only to disappoint at Doncaster on his latest start while Quietly was placed at Wetherby in January but has failed to complete either side of that. Bernardelli slides further down the handicap but looks no nearer winning and Master Ruffit remains resolutely out of form.
