Verdict
LASTING LEGACY has placed at Newcastle on both outings so far this year and has every chance racing off a lower mark back on this surface. Arranmore looks no nearer taking advantage of a slide down the weights but Motarajel, an import from France, could go well on only his second start for new connections. Frow has been thereabouts on the all-weather lately and Lacan may finish closer with an apprentice’s allowance helping his cause.
