LAKESHORE LADY makes a quick reappearance after beating old rival Easter In Paris at Fontwell on Thursday. She has a penalty to carry but her rider’s claim takes care of the extra and she may be tough to beat again. Remember Forever has improved for the switch to fences and was also a winner last time at Fontwell. Code Of Law was odds-on here last month after a couple of seconds but unseated his rider, though Noel Fehily takes over the reins today.
