Race preview
Both LORDSHIP and Fairbanks make their handicap bow, with preference for the former, who shaped very well in second over 1m2f at Lingfield, when tapped for a bit of toe at the finish. William Haggas' gelding should improve for this step up in distance and is fancied to get off the mark. Ironopolis got up by a head when upped to 1m4f at Southwell and was only raised 4lb, which keeps him in with a shout on his return to the turf.
