In depth
Verdict
LEE SIDE LADY only had three rivals to beat at Fontwell but has had just the four starts under Rules and should have the scope to defy a 3lb rise in the weights in what looks a modest first division of this conditionals' handicap. Bus Named Desire has the past form to figure while Western Goose has hinted at ability but few of the others make much appeal on recent efforts.
