        In depth

        Verdict

        Sylva Legend will have his followers after a hard fought success at Chepstow, but he looks opposable under his penalty, and preference is for Christopher who will be better suited by this faster surface. Winning chaser Delaware is an interesting runner and will make sure Christopher does not have things all his own way.
