Verdict
MIDNIGHTS LEGACY (NAP) came again to land the spoils over 1m2f here on his reappearance. He will relish the extra 2f in this and his stable has been in fine form. Indigo Lake opened his account over 1m4f at Doncaster but got first run on the well-backed favourite and has more to do here off a 4lb higher mark. Cedar Cage pulled hard and hung under pressure at Kempton so is probably best watched while Gold Souk and Heart Reef have a bit to prove after disappointing comeback efforts. Bucephalus should be winning soon, however, off his current mark.
