Verdict
Legalized won over the course and distance in January and ran very well on a return visit last weekend. She has a penalty to carry but it will be a surprise if she isn't involved in the finish. Anjilina showed some potential in an Ayr bumper and she has a superb pedigree for jumping though LADY CYLLA looks the one to beat with her allowance. Tom Lacey's four-year-old takes on older rivals for the first time and is untried over the distance but she's signalled an imminent victory with very good runs at Doncaster and Ludlow and her heavy defeat in-between came in a Listed contest. Escort'namix, a winner between the flags, looks destined for a berth on the podium as she's run reasonably well in her two bumpers and was always more likely to do better with a set of obstacles in front of her. 3.15
