Verdict
With so much experience compared to the remainder and a good effort here last week No Poppy will take plenty of beating here and while it may prove foolish to take her on we will suggest doing so with CITY LEGEND. The Alan McCabe-trained pick showed plenty of promise on debut when an unfancied third over this trip at Windsor and pedigree suggests that he should be effective on any going with good in the description. With improvement anticipated he can score. West Stand probably wants some rain to help her, while Moral Issue is going the right way and is not dismissed lightly. Je Suis Unrockstar would be interesting if supported but City Legend gets the vote.
