Verdict

Legend Rising faces different conditions today having won over a mile in soft ground at Chester last month. It was also testing going when Bretherton beat Lincoln and Art Official at Haydock recently. The former's stablemate Shot In The Sun is preferred on his earlier second at York when Torchlighter was well beaten and Almargo makes more appeal than the latter back over 7f. Nakuti and Nova Champ are not easily overlooked in a wide-open affair but the unexposed KAFEEL gets the vote to come good in this after running well on his reappearance and seasonal debut at Kempton.
