Verdict
It's difficult to make a strong case for any of these. Legal Legacy and The Noble Ord continue to slip down the weights without showing any improvement and The Which Doctor hasn't won since 2011, though he did finish ahead of Mayforde Jack when fourth at Kempton last time. Custom House has yet to prove he stays today's trip, but Querido may finish closer with a 7lb claimer taking over the reins. QEETHAARA won four times at Kempton early last year and she gets the speculative vote here having plummeted down the weights since last getting her head in front.
