Who's That Chick and Byrd In Hand are solid, professional sorts almost sure to run their race and are preferred in that order with the former's latest effort when runner-up here reading particularly well. However, LIVING LEGEND is taken to defy a 6lb penalty for a 12l romp in an amateur riders' event at Salisbury over the weekend and faces similar conditions here. He's clearly in great heart at present and has been threatening to land a success for some time. Mitchell may find his stamina stretched at this trip whilst Appyjack appeals best of the Tony Carroll trio at the foot of the weights.
