Verdict
LEGENDE D’ART won over today’s trip before finishing in front of Epic Express over 6f here on his return from a lay-off. Eponina is back on the same mark as when scoring at Catterick during the summer while Yoshimi placed ahead of Full Intention at Southwell looking for his first win on the all-weather. Falesia Beach ran well over further here recently and returns to her winning trip.
