chased leader, headway to challenge 2 out, every chance until no extra close home
always in rear, ridden 3 out, soon tailed off
made all, hard ridden 2 out, held on gamely flat
KNIGHT LEGEND finished second in similar company here in January and Sarah Humphrey's charge gets the vote to go one better today after a couple of recent outings over the larger obstacles. Le Corvee has been placed in plating races of late and has decent claims in this one, while Bedizen may do better dropped in class. Keep Guessing and Kempley Green are both out of sorts and looks up against it on today's terms.
