Tijan finished second at Kempton in October and the Godolphin charge may have improved in the interim. Qaffaal has course form with a fourth here in January though he never threatened the winner so a chance is taken on LEGAL ART. The three-year-old gets plenty of weight from her elders on today's terms and arrives on the back of a good effort at Chelmsford. It's difficult to make a case for any of the remainder on what little they have shown so far and the newcomers look nothing out of the ordinary on breeding.
