Verdict
A typically trappy sprint in which plenty hold legitimate chances. A high draw looked favourable at the last meeting and Legalis has such a benefit today The Dubai-cast off had form on this surface when he began his career with Andre Fabre in France. Kevin Ryan's charge has been busy in recent weeks and looks to have a good draw today. Prix Star finished fourth in this contest last year off a 3lb higher mark. The draw of eight is not great though and he will need to use plenty of petrol to get a position. Chispa hails from a shrewd yard but his best form is on faster. Arrogant Prince steps up to 6f after plying his trade at 5f. He did have winning form in lesser grade and is watched in the market. Travelling Times has shown little for new connections and is left alone at the moment.
