Verdict

I'm A Legend had a relatively hard race at Wincanton when winning narrowly and it would be no surprise were he not to take his chance with the testing conditions unlikely to suit so preference is for FLAMING GORGE. He has shown little on two starts this season but it's to be hoped that the switch to chasing helps to show him in a better light and his one success over timber came on heavy ground at Chepstow so the conditions should pose no problem. Wheels Up won well at Newbury in March but hasn't always convinced in the finish whilst Baseball Ted became disappointing for his previous connections and is best watched unless attracting support and Deep Quest also has something to prove.
