      Verdict

      This looks pretty tight but OCEAN LEGEND is rated lower on Turf than the all-weather and took advantage when scoring here last month. He remains on a winning mark despite a 5lb rise and is just preferred to Kakapuka. The latter has a decent shout on last year's winning form at Epsom while Alcando also has claims off his current mark after a much better effort at Kempton last time. Sleipnir ran a shocker on his Turf debut at Beverley but it's too soon to write him off given he'd gone close on the Polytrack earlier.
