Ocean Legend scrambled home in this last year but has 10lb more to carry. He has an official rating of 68, as does CASTORIENTA, who will be receiving 20lb and showed at Kempton last week that a victory is imminent. Haadeeth has won eight of his 101 races and was running quite well in handicaps before a moderate effort in a Wolverhampton claimer. The Dandy Yank pops up every now and then and is racing in this lowly grade for the first time in his career.
