House of Lords, Boy On A Swing and Greylami are the 3 to concentrate on in this handicap and the vote goes to House of Lords. The selection was not given a hard time on his racecourse debut but he still won at Wolverhampton when he got the better of Speyside. He again has the services of Jamie Spencer in the plate which could be a big plus as he will need a clever ride to win from stall 2, but this longer trip is also in his favour and he makes plenty of appeal. Boy On A Swing is more exposed than our selection but he won his maiden in good style last time and he should go well. Greylami did not have the race run to suit last time so he could be worth another chance, especially as he won his maiden in good style here previously. However, this looks a good opportunity for House Of Lords who is taken to score.
