Formscan  - LADY LA FAY placed over 1m2f at Newbury on her handicap bow, having landed a novice race over this trip at Ripon before that. The daughter of Camelot has untapped potential in handicaps and may prove the one to side with. Baltic made a winning reappearance last term and went on to land a four-timer. Subsequently gelded, he can have a say in proceedings, while Majestic Warrior is interesting on his handicap debut and first start since May 2023.
