Verdict
Planet Legend had Freddy Robinson back in third when scoring at Kelso but the Irish raider Bringbackmemories was well beaten when runner-up at Limerick last time having won a qualifying event for this back in January. SILVER VISION also landed a qualifier back in November when returning a surprise winner and Stuart Coltherd’s grey gets the vote in an open Final with a conditional’s allowance in her favour. The Churchill Lad finished second in a Listed contest at the track last month and Pretending placed yet again when finding one too good in a handicap at Doncaster while Ring Of Beara and Cianciana are others worth a second glance.
