In depth

Verdict

LEE VALLEY LEGACY (NAP) is one of only two distance winners in the line-up, the other being the veteran The Grey Guy. Danny Mullins made good use of his stamina at Fairyhouse and is replaced by a 7lb claimer, who wipes out a 6lb rise. The winning rider is on board Our Majella, who has yet to win but ran well over slightly shorter at Thurles in November. Lotus Hill showed her first sign of ability here last month though that was over 2m3f while Likeable Chancer ran quite well behind Frere Fontaine here last time though has never raced beyond 2m5f.
