It’s difficult to know what La Domaniale achieved when winning at Vichy last year but he has joined a powerful yard so improvement is expected. Neil The Legend is trained by Nicky Henderson but that’s the only positive. Valleres was quite impressive at Wetherby but possibly beat a non-stayer and THREEUNDERTHRUFIVE was an equally-decisive winner over this trip at Lingfield and looks worth sticking with.
