LAGENDA took advantage of a tumble down the weights when scoring over a mile here last week. He may well shrug off a 3lb rise and go in again given he was winning off a 14lb higher mark last year. Archies Lad has plenty to find with the selection on latest running while Lukoutoldmakezebak was winning on Turf for the first time in 24 starts when successful at Ripon and makes less appeal raised 4lb. With Approval posted one of his better efforts when placed at Newcastle recently and God Of Dreams is steadily creeping closer without yet threatening.
