Jet Legs was conceding a stone when six lengths behind Hello Judge here last month and can reverse the places on the revised terms, especially as the winner had race fitness on his side. WILLIAM OF YORK has left Dan Skelton despite completing a hat-trick in the spring and Rebecca Menzies will be keen to get off the mark with him. Big Blue Moon won a handicap here in March then just failed to defy a 7lb penalty at Chepstow while En Meme Temps made a very encouraging reappearance at Hexham.
