Lake Shore Drive won over today’s trip at Lingfield in November but is 8lb higher today. Sevilla won a seller over 1m4f here before placing over 1m6f and should stay the trip while course and distance winner Lady Makfi has slipped down the weights this year and could bounce back at any time. But QUIDS IN looks worth chancing as he wasn’t beaten far over 2m at Chepstow recently and Oliver Greenall’s winning hurdler is taken to open his account on the Flat.
