LECALE’S ARTICLE won over this trip at Newbury before failing to land the odds over 2m5f at Warwick. His future does lie over further but this stiff track should play to his strengths. Franigane has improved with every run and the Wetherby winner looks a danger with Orbys Legend also on an upward curve. The latter holds Morfee on the form book and makes more appeal than Ludlow maiden winner Method Madness.
