Lamool reappears following a winter break and connections would have hoped for quicker ground. Recent rain has tilted this the way of LAKE VIEW LAD, who won on heavy going at Ayr and Wetherby before finding the company too hot in a Grade 2 at Kelso last time. Broad Spectrum is likely to better when going chasing but is still preferred to Raymond Reddington of the other pair.
