The bookies are likely to be wary of Lake Shore Drive this afternoon and he didn’t do a great deal wrong in defeat at Worcester. The ten-year-old has usually had significant breaks between his races so there could be value in opposition and EMIRAT DE CATANA appears potentially well treated on the pick of his efforts. Barney Stinson had form on softer going when with Mouse Morris though Adam Nicol appears to be getting a handle on him these days. Get Phar was outpaced on reappearance but he wouldn’t be out of this if a wind operation has worked the oracle.
