Verdict
Let's Be Happy got up in the shadows of the post here last month and is only 3lb higher. Il Sicario is another recent winner but only landed a claimer upped in trip at Leicester and has been raised a massive 10lb. Melodine looked as though she was coming to hand at Haydock but more will still be needed and Rakematiz was a 20/1 chance when scoring at Lingfield. Born Legend is unexposed but LIGHTLY SQUEEZE (NAP) won at Wolverhampton in April and rallied well for pressure when sixth in a better race than this at Leicester last time – he can make it third-time lucky in handicaps today.
