Verdict

City Legend had shown very little in four starts before landing a minor gamble at Wolverhampton on Monday. A 6lb penalty won't help and this looks a tougher race. Odin has shown plenty of dash in his races without putting in a finish, but May's Boy has been hit by a 9lb rise for his all-the-way success over the C&D and may not get such a soft lead here. AMAZON TWILIGHT, who was making her handicap debut when scoring over the C&D last month, can take this as there is more to come from her though Pippa's Gift has shown potential in three races over 6f and won't mind the extra.
