Jeffrey Harris hasn’t figured since landing a double here earlier but Qaaraat is now back on the same mark as when successful over track and trip in November. Jan Van Hoof is another not badly treated on winning form here if back to his best but Montalvan has only won a maiden in 18 starts. FINAL LEGACY has only raced at Southwell of the all-weather tracks so far but Derek Shaw’s filly has gone close the last twice and gets a speculative vote with Luke Morris taking over the reins another positive.
