ADMIRABLE LAD missed out on a four-timer when runner-up at Chelmsford recently but that was his first outing since September and this won’t take much winning. Griggy posted his best effort since scoring at Kempton when placed over the minimum trip here but both Coolagh Magic and Dark Shot have failed to figure since winning over today’s distance in October. Won Love scored at Southwell early in the year and has subsequently switched yards.
