Verdict
I'm A Legend gets the confident vote in the finale with Gold Again and Idian Mix heading a long list of dangers. The selection won well last out when beating Triple Bluff and although rising in the weights he won a shde cozily and he is taken to defy the handicapper. Gold Again rates the main danger on his latest third behind Munching Mike but the drop in trip has to be a concern. Idian Mix is anopther worthy of respect on his latest fifth behind Mungo Jerry he looks sure to have come on for his latest start and he should be watched in the market. Taran Tregarth looks the stable's second string on jockey bookings. The booking of Nick Schofield for Double The Trouble catches the eye and he is another to note in the market. Of the remainder The Boat could go well at a price now handicaping over his right trip but for the winner we are happy to return to I'm A Legend.
