Verdict
Coral Blue has won his last two but SOCKS OFF, who beat Maillot Blanc at Sedgefield in January, only weakened on the run-in when the pair met at Ayr last time and, 7lb better off, it would be no surprise if Rebecca Menzies’ charge reversed the form here. Despite top weight, Salvino should give a good account dropped in trip while Les's Legacy hasn’t been beaten far in two starts since beating a subsequent winner at Hexham. Euchan Falls is another arriving in good nick and it’s easy to make a case for a number of the others including Prairie Wolf and Idilico.
