The Lemon Pie makes a swift reappearance after finishing third when favourite at Newton Abbot on Sunday. AP McCoy takes over in the saddle and this is an equally uninspiring contest so he has to go on the short-list along with top weight My Viking Bay, runner-up to Midnight Spirit in a seller at Towcester last time. The four-year-old Lady Bridget was raised 5lb after winning over C&D 12 days ago but should also be thereabouts, though has to concede weight now to LIGHTENING FIRE. Lightly-raced this winter, the 10-year-old hinted at a revival when fourth over 2m4f here last time and may be the best of a modest bunch.
