IMPERIAL LEGEND is the only course and distance winner in the line-up and he has some decent form at this level so gets the nod to return to winning ways. Megaleka completed a hat-trick when successful on this track and she wasn't suited by Fibresand last time. Taurus Twins has put his head down and battled for his last two victories and though raised 5lb it will be a surprise if he's not involved in the finish. Gowanharry attracted very good support on his return to action at Nottingham but never really got going He was in good form for most of last year and Connor Beasley's claim can help him into the frame.
