Verdict

Big Time Maybe has been thereabouts here recently and finished ahead of the disappointing favourite Global Melody last month. The latter had beaten George Thomas when scoring here in January while Lydiate Lady has winning form on the Fibresand and ended last year with a victory at Nottingham. Simba Samba could go well for Hayley Turner but FINAL LEGACY has gone close in both subsequent outings since scoring over track and trip so Derek Shaw’s filly gets the vote.
