Verdict

LUCK OF THE LEGION was always travelling well when staying on too strongly for Heavenly Promise at Fontwell and had 15 lengths to spare over Western Sunrise at Warwick earlier. She has come on in leaps and bounds since tackling longer trips and, despite a further 9lb hike in the weights, can complete the hat-trick. Chloe's Court is still a maiden but worth a try over this longer distance though, like Lassana Angel, looks high enough in the weights.
