Give Us A Belle went close over track and trip last time when finishing ahead of Your Gifted but has been raised further in the weights and is now 5lb higher than when scoring here in November. ROY'S LEGACY is preferred given he has won off higher marks on the all-weather in the past and posted a better effort when third at Lingfield earlier in the week. Simply Black won here in October and can race off a lower if an apprentice's claim is taken into account.
