Pads is dropped in grade in an attempt to find a race and this is probably his best trip but Iain Jardine’s maiden is taken on with LAKESHORE LADY, who has been placed twice over hurdles and won a chase at Fontwell last month. Centreofexcellence has had his problems since winning a Wincanton handicap just over a year ago but would have every chance if reproducing that form.
