Verdict

This won't take much winning but Leith Hill Legasi hasn't clicked so far over hurdles, though her yard remains in excellent form. Combustible Kate was second over a longer trip at Huntingdon on Sunday but has had plenty of chances and It's Oscar, who hasn't run since May, is also thoroughly exposed. THE KVILLEKEN drops into this grade for the first time on the back of a narrow defeat over 2m at Worcester. Killian Moore's claim takes care of the 2lb higher mark and he'll never get a better chance to break his duck as Ovilia looks very moderate.
