LORDSHIP returns to this level having found one too good at Haydock on his handicap bow and can get off the mark. Swift Hawk was beaten only a head upped to today’s trip at Leicester while Ala Kaifi finished third over 1m2f at Bath on his debut. Mountain Lake never figured over 7f on the all-weather last month but this extra distance will suit and she’s preferred to the newcomer Frankie's Wish.
