Roy's Legacy is a testimony to the skills of his trainer who has placed him brilliantly to win 18 races since his debut in 2011. He's already had eleven races this year, winning two on the all-weather. Rainbow Orse has gained two of his three victories here though an absence since October tempers enthusiasm while Kempton winner Artscape was well beaten on his only start on Turf at Windsor. Borough Boy is an all-weather specialist unlike COISTE BODHAR, who he beat easily at Southwell last month. The latter won here in October and was only beaten a neck on a return visit in November so hopefully a return to the track will help him get back to winning ways.
