Verdict
Along with Intac, Marley Roca never figured behind Ostland over a slightly shorter trip here last time. King's Legacy races for the first time since finishing third in a novice chase at Worcester almost a year ago while Sunsetten has also been off the track for a while. Nataani struggles to get his head in front and Pilgrims Lane fell at Fakenham last Sunday while it's a long time since Commemoration Day showed any worthwhile form, though Charlie Longsdon's chasers are always worth a second look here. THE DISENGAGER came good at Bangor two weeks ago and, though 8lb higher, is relatively unexposed over fences - he can score again under Richard Johnson.
