Verdict
For Langy won on the Flat and over hurdles in France and is now with Philip Hobbs. But the yard also run MASTERS LEGACY, who quickened away from the odds-on Eritage here last month and looks capable of going on to better things. Smith’s Bay was no match for Winningseverything at Market Rasen last month but will strip fitter here and Nocte Volatus is likely better than he showed at Uttoxeter. The latter probably has more scope than Green Dolphin and Kerrkenny Gold. Polish showed little on the Flat last year but is now with the in-form Fergal O’Brien.
