The Lords Walk showed plenty of potential last season and reappeared to score over 7f here where he stayed on strongly to lead close home. Lady Nathaniel won over the course and distance in September and was having only her second subsequent start when just failing to hold Alfirak a month ago. Annie Fior was conceding 17lb to A Likely Story when just failing to get up over 7f here last time and has no problems staying the extra. QUELUZ was a length behind in fourth in that latter event, his first start since August. He's much better suited by this extra furlong so gets the nod in a tight handicap in which Sleepy Head, who completed a double here in the autumn, is another with a chance.
