Mickey Legg is an accomplished amateur and gets the leg-up here on EL TOREROS. Lawney Hill's gelding has been running a bit better than his results over fences suggest and the handicapper has given him a chance in this modest contest getting 5lb from Accessallareas. The top weight won over course and distance last month but has been well beaten twice off his new mark since. Think Its All Over is still a maiden under NH Rules and finds little off the bridle. Sportsreport is also still seeking a first victory, as is June French, but Tenby Jewel has won over timber and has only run twice so far over the larger obstacles.
