Verdict

ROY'S LEGACY went close to following up his earlier wins at Lingfield when runner-up at the same track last weekend. He gets the nod ahead of Desert Strike, who won this in 2011 but is closely matched with Pull The Pin on latest running over course and distance. Iffranesia reversed earlier form with Sir Geoffrey when scoring at Wolverhampton last time and is upped only 3lb. She should go close in a tight handicap but Your Gifted has something to find with the selection.
