      Verdict

      Theatre Legend had placed over 2m before well beaten over further and Champagne City is another looking for a return to form on his second outing after wind surgery. The King Of May won at Carlisle before struggling in heavy going at Newcastle when Coole Well finished runner-up and the latter has found one too good again in both subsequent starts. Rose Sea Has won here in between poor efforts and is hard to predict but a chance is taken DAME DU SOIR proves more consistent having landed a novices chase at Hereford recently and handicapping for the first time here.
