The Laodicean has gone up 7lb for his recent victory over a longer trip here but is going the right way and should be thereabouts again. SHARE OPTION has had just the two starts over fences and, given he scored over C&D on his chasing debut in January, Tony Carroll's charge gets the vote with further progress expected. Park Lane showed a bit more at Ludlow last time, but Lights Of Broadway and Go Get Em Kid both failed to complete their latest starts and may be best watched for now.
