Verdict
Star Legend has yet to win and is still looking high enough in the weights. EMBOLDEN, four-times a winner on the Flat, won over slightly further on soft ground here in the spring and can go in again. Mi Sueno had bits and pieces of form in Ireland and was in touch for a long way over 2m3f at Fontwell but winning bumper Deal Em High has no experience of soft ground. Onnaroll produced easily his best run to date at Fontwell last month then reverted to type at Warwick.
