        Verdict

        Pearl Noir won this off a higher mark last year and can figure but ROY’S LEGACY is preferred. The latter finished ahead of subsequent winner Mighty Zip when going close on the all-weather before winning at Chepstow on his latest start and this looks no tougher. Entertaining Ben has been thereabouts of late while Mininggold posted a better effort last time and won off a similar mark over 6f here in September.
