In depth
Verdict
Final Legacy is a Fibresand specialist but makes more appeal than stable companion Murqaab. SUPERIORITY had Comeatchoo behind when only finding an odds-on favourite too good at Newcastle in March. That was her first try over 5f and her handicap debut so there should be plenty more to come from Karl Burke’s filly. Shecandoo is even less exposed but Alba Del Sole’s consistency means she is getting little help from the handicapper, who has raised her another 2lb, and she has disappointed here in the past. Roundabout Magic is hard to catch right.
