In depth

Verdict

Just when he looked likely to have improved sufficiently to land a success, Tomorrow's Legend threw in a bad one the last day when sent off market leader. He's still a maiden but will be in the mix if putting that disappointment behind him. Court Of Law is capable at this level on his day but does tend to be rather erratic and MUMGOS DEBUT(NAP) looks a much safer option. He's returned from an absence with a string of commendably consistent efforts over fences and, crucially, still looks feasibly treated. The ground is a slight concern but his strong form claims sway things in his favour in a relatively modest affair. Harleys Max is inconsistent but would have claims at his best, which is not always forthcoming on evidence to date.
