Verdict
Themainprotagonist failed to show any progress at Kempton last time but Heartlander finished closer over 6f on the all-weather. Laura's Breeze showed early pace over today’s trip at Newbury last month and may improve but OPERA LEGEND has been gelded since last in action in November and the Haggas yard has a fine strike-rate at the track. Pretty Flag’s yard won this with a newcomer last year and Final Credit is another debutant to note.
