Verdict

Ocean Legend can score here with both Monsieur Reynard and Laddies Poker Two worth noting. The selection has improved with each run and ran a personal best to finish third to Grand Strategy here over a mile recently. He has experience on his side now and can put that to good use to try and break his maiden tag here. Monsieur Reynard failed to trouble the judge when out classed at Newmarket when last seen in August. This looks an easier task so the market will be the best guide to his chances. Laddies Poker Two has his debut for a top yard and has to be respected as a result but it will remain to seen whether or not he is good enough to win on his debut. So for the winner we return to Ocean Legend.
