Verdict
This is much less competitive than the handicap that Freddy Robinson contested last time. Flat winner Greatness Awaits will know more today and is preferred to Duyfken and Lady Hamilton while Polyphonic won at Fontwell earlier in the campaign. PLANET LEGEND (NAP) was struggling when falling at Haydock two weeks ago and an earlier win at Huntingdon hasn’t worked out but he looks the one to beat in this grade if his confidence hasn’t been affected.
