Lady London was a surprise winner over 3m here on her reappearance but is only 3lb higher so a follow-up is a possibility. Anti Cool, successful at Market Rasen in June, and THE BOOLA BEE have both had a summer holiday but the penny dropped with the latter over fences in May and a big run is anticipated on her return to action, despite a big hike in the weights. Code Of Law has struggled off higher marks since winning at Stratford in July. Katalystic was runner-up to the selection here in May so can’t be ignored.
