Tooreen Legend has won three times around here and ran his best race for a very long time when just failing to cope with Drakensberg, who was receiving 11lb, earlier this month. Alcander was four lengths back in third and looks held while Miss Snossyboots was beaten just over a length by Abraham here in October 2017 when receiving 11lb. She's 8lb worse off but has made the greater progress and can take her revenge. DREAM FOCUS was beaten a long way into second over the course and distance last month but that was his first start since July and he looks well enough handicapped to go one better.
