    Verdict

    On The Cusp has done all his winning on the all-weather at Southwell and despite 16 victories over the years, Hinton Admiral has yet to score over this far. Spinning Ridge is usually thereabouts at this level and Aquilifer can be given a chance on the pick of his form but a chance is taken on LEGAL LEGACY. A recent below par effort on the Fibresand at Southwell can be forgiven and he'll take all the beating if reproducing last month's run at Doncaster when beaten four lengths by Penitent in a Listed contest.
