LORD GRANTHAM (4) last appeared when he finished second over 6f at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) on February 20. Capable of playing a major role. LOVE SPELL (1) returned from a spell six-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 14 lengths into seventh over 1m1/2f at this track. Strips fitter and can make amends. HARDY CHOICE (5) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then settled well back last start when 18 lengths away in 12th over 1m1/2f at Keeneland. Finds a suitable assignment and can take this out. VALE (8) comes here off a last-start fifth, beaten 12 lengths, over 7f at Keeneland. Sure to be competitive.
