Verdict
A couple of these stand out though it was heavy going when Gerolamo Cardano ended a long losing with a victory over track and trip at the end of last year so ACCIDENTAL LEGEND makes more appeal. The latter bids for a hat-trick having improved for the step up to today’s trip and looks worth sticking with. Click And Collect placed over a shorter distance at Newcastle when last in action at this time last year while Yellow Jacket makes his handicap debut.
