Verdict

Most of these are course winners but ISLAND LEGEND has the best recent form and scored for the fifth time over C&D last month. He's taken to follow up as he beat subsequent Lingfield winner Roy's Legacy and Rocket Rob easily enough and should confirm running. Stablemate Triple Dream showed a bit more last time but Royal Bajan has lost his way since winning at Southwell in November. Al Khan continues to tumble down the weights without getting any closer but it's only a matter of time before he takes advantage.
