Verdict

Skye Breeze defied a 3lb rise when beating Glittering Choice over track and trip last time and has been raised the same amount again. But LEGENDARY DAY is back on a winning mark and having gone close back on the Flat at Kempton a week ago may prove the one to side with. Suffrajet posted a couple of better efforts in a higher grade last month while Percy Willis wasn’t beaten far when only fourth at Wolverhampton.
