Verdict
Ron Harris knows how to get the best out of sprinters and TOPSOIL was much improved at Chelmsford earlier this month after a few confidence-boosters at the lowest level. He’s been raised 3lb for that but can still go one better. Roy's Legacy is on a decent mark at present and has been more like his old self lately so rates a danger as he has the beating of Charlie Lad on the form book. Gettin' Lucky looked to be getting the hang of things last month and has had only the six career starts so has more scope than most of these.
