MY SWEET LORD scored at Brighton before suffering defeat in better company at Goodwood last time. He gets another chance back in this lowly grade. Triple Aitch has a shout on his latest third over 7f at York but Poitin finished a tailed-off last of three on the Turf here last month and is better than that. The less exposed types to consider include Black Eyed Girl and Whatwehavewehold but Encapsulated could prove the best of them after an improved effort at Wolverhampton last time.
