In depth
Verdict
Double Legend won over track and trip in January with Three Dragons and Norwegian Red behind but has something to find with ALMOST YOU on collateral form. The latter made a winning debut for new connections when beating subsequent dual winner Murhib at Kempton and can go close again on that form despite a 6lb rise. Devizes returns to handicapping having landed a couple of classified races and is preferred to the likes of Imajorblush and Arlecchino's Arc.
