In depth
Verdict
A rejuvenated Sunshineandbubbles bids for a four-timer raised a further 6lb while Menin Gate won at Newcastle back in October and debuts for a new yard on his return. Double Legend is partnered by a leading amateur and scored over track and trip earlier in the year but BIRD TO LOVE posted a better effort when third at Lingfield last time and may prove the one to side with in this. Noble Account and Earthly are others to consider.
