Imperial Legend ended a long losing run when making a winning return at Wetherby while Twentysvnthlancers also ended a barren spell when finishing in front of Lady Molly, Griffin Street and Raise A Billion in winning at Musselburgh last time. HIGHLY FOCUSSED has been in winning form on the all-weather this year and ran well again off today’s mark at Chelmsford last time. Having only his second outing on Turf today, Ann Duffield’s charge may well be good enough. Only Spoofing and Bronze Beau have both tumbled down the weights and could bounce back at any time.
