Nottingham winner LEGEND RISING may be capable of conceding weight all round to these as he looks to have more to offer. Redcar scorer Piazon may be the danger as Sleepy Joe has been a big disappointment since scoring on debut at Leicester, though the form of Michael Bell's yard remains a concern. It took Left Defender four attempts to get off the mark, in an ordinary race at Southwell, while Kodafine has been well beaten since landing a maiden auction event on the Polytrack in April.
