        Verdict

        Lowly Class 7 fare with no recent winning form on offer. LEGAL MIND is only lightly-raced for his age and, after finishing a decent fourth at Kempton on his return from a lay-off, he gets the vote with Adam Kirby's presence in the saddle another positive. Slipalongtrevaskis and Moremoneymoreparty have both placed at this level recently and Compton Prince could pop up at any time off his current mark. Distant Applause goes handicapping for the first time and may finish closer but Captain Ryan was due to run at Lingfield yesterday.
