In depth
Verdict
The form of Ballyea has tapered off and Lupo D'Oro's best effort came with some cut in the ground. Worth's handicap win came over 6f at Kempton, but he was below par last time back on the turf and preference is for ROY'S LEGACY. His recent double also came at Kempton but he looks up to defying a 6lb penalty and landing his hat-trick as he ran out an easy three-length winner last week. Billyrayvalentine and Deduction could prove the biggest threats as they make their handicap debuts.
