Verdict

Plenty of runners for a decent handicap in which most would have some sort of chance. Fourth Estate is gradually coming down the weights while First Avenue returned to his best over course and distance last time, Ainsi Fideles was second at Fontwell last month while Empire Levant is eased in grade on his first start for a new yard. SIMPLY A LEGEND didn't settle at Kempton last time but beat useful novices at Ascot earlier and doesn't look badly treated on his handicap debut. He can complete the hat-trick, though Flemenson is better than he's shown in his last two starts and looks a danger. Beachfire might need this but should pick up a decent prize somewhere this summer.
