ROY'S LEGACY landed a double on the Polytrack earlier this season, when White Spirit was one of his victims, but he was only beaten a head in testing ground over today's trip at Newcastle in August. He gets the tentative vote on that basis ahead of Princess Banu, who has been in better form of late and finished just ahead of Catterick winner Uncle Timmy when third at Redcar last week. Red Shadow and Verus Delicia were further back in the same Redcar race so the unexposed Gulf Storm makes more appeal.
