In depth
Verdict
Roy's Legacy keeps on winning but is upped a further 5lb after his latest success at Newcastle, though he was a long way ahead of Classic Flyer at Hamilton earlier. More Spice can race off the same mark as when second over track and trip in April if an apprentice’s allowance is taken into account and can confirm running with Pushkin Museum but ADA LOVELACE makes more appeal. She was having her first start since December when placed at Brighton last month and John Gallagher’s filly should be sharper for that.
