      Verdict

      Living Legend won a lower grade contest at Pontefract last time and is raised 7lb. Lucander is upped in class after placing at York while You're Hired is upped in distance having won over a mile here. Influencer has his first outing since January while HABIT ROUGE hasn’t raced since June. But the latter had won twice over course and distance before that including at this level and there looks more to come from him this year reunited with winning partner Marco Ghiani for this.
