Verdict

Mr Potter won here back in February and should be sharper for a recent return from a lay-off while Prince Jai keeps threatening to finally open his account but has had 18 attempts already. Caledonian Gold ran well at Yarmouth last month under today’s apprentice while Zebelini scored at Wolverhampton on her penultimate start but ran poorly last time. FRANK’S LEGACY has had just the four starts and won over 6f at Wolverhampton on his handicap debut when giving the impression this extra distance would suit. He gets the nod to show further improvement today.
