Verdict
Borsdane Wood finished runner-up here before struggling at Wolverhampton while Portugueseprincess placed off a higher mark at the track back in November. But a couple of these arrive on the back of course and distance wins including LEGAL REFORM (NAP). The latter faced a tough task when second in maiden company here before winning a handicap over track and trip with plenty in hand and Ivan Furtado’s charge is taken to confirm running with Love Your Work, despite worse terms. Equidae has won five times from 12 outings so far on the Fibresand and looks the main threat given the ease of his latest success.
