LANCELOT DU LAC is well handicapped and has ground conditions in his favour to belie his big double figure price in today’s Portland Handicap, due off at 1.50pm at Town Moor.

While the stands rail draw of 22 may not be help, ground is crucial to the 102-rated 8yo and at 25/1, the Robert Winston-ridden son of Shamardal is worth an each-way look in a typically competitive Portland, run over the minimum distance.

Dangers abound and they include the well supported Wentworth Falls, knocking at the door Open Wide and the Frankie Dettori-ridden Blue De Vega.
