Verdict
Foreign Legion was conceding a stone to the winner when beaten a length here on Wednesday and has to have every chance of going one better if none the worse but CRYSTAL DAWN was conceding 10lb to Eglish when beaten a neck last month and they race off levels here. Gavin Cromwell's filly should have no problems reversing the places and gets the nod but Linus Larrabee appeared to find a 7lb rise for last month's victory anchoring him on a return visit. Mr Ormsby doesn't win often but has slipped to a winnable mark and would be a threat if ready after a long break. Michael Halford and Ronan Whelan are in such good form that Katiymann shouldn't be dismissed despite a long losing run.
