        Verdict

        Quite a few of these have been busy over timber during the winter and come here after hard campaigns. Activist, Roveretto, Ashnaya and You're Special fall into this category but Ledgendry Line still appears relatively fresh and would not be without a chance. The clear exception to the rule is the remarkable Fatehalkhir who won the Durham National this winter but is versatile enough to have gone close on the level at York last week. He should again run a genuine race but might have to give best to the specialist flat horses. Gracilis had a great time last term but has shot up the handicap as a result and may also need the run. Litzinsky is a sporting choice after his good run at Doncaster a couple of months ago. Any rain will certainly help the cause and Litzinsky should go close.
