    Verdict

    None of these look particularly well-in though LIVING LEGEND was having his first outing since 2019 when running well for a long way at Newmarket and has the most scope for improvement. Without A Fight is 11lb higher than when winning last year’s renewal having competed in Pattern company since while Al Zaraqaan has struggled since returning to the Turf and a tongue-tie is applied. Fair Star hasn’t raced since January and Sextant hasn’t won on the Flat since 2019.
