A low-key finale can go to LUCK OF THE LEGION, who has been much improved since stepped up in trip. He has another 3f to cover today but it shouldn’t be a problem. Watching Brief is 0-18 but twice ran well in Ireland over trips in excess of 3m. Simply Lucky found only one too good last time at Uttoxeter and Jonnigraig has tumbled down the handicap, though was beaten in a maiden at Worcester last time. Vif Argent is on a long losing run but Dr Time could do better in first-time cheekpieces.
