Verdict
Legacy Power stayed on for second at Lingfield in February and drops down in trip for this. King Sharja returns to action having debuted over a shorter distance at York in October and is preferred to stablemate Yesisaidyes while Sir Michael Stoute runs a couple of newcomers in Perfuse and CRYSTAL MARINER. Richard Kingscote partners the latter and the Dante and early Derby entry may prove good enough at the first time of asking.
