Verdict
A central draw may not be too much of a hindrance for Legal Set in this company and he is fancied to extend his run of good form. The main threat may come from Wendy's Girl, who can reverse recent form with Lady Pekan on these terms. The daughter of Ashkalani won well over six furlongs on her penultimate start and, with the return to Wolverhampton in her favour, she is expected to be in the thick of it at the finish. Cargo, who is also drawn in the center of the track, ands, as a prime candidate to tow them along, he is yet another that has to come in for consideration. The six-year-old was too keen for his own good when bursting through the stalls at Lingfield just over a fortnight ago, which resulted in the race being voided and him being denied his clean sweep of victories at all three of the all weather tracks. However, he does like this surface though and he should make a bold bid again today. However, he may set things up for Legal Set, who is versatile regarding his style of running, as he is equally effective when setting or tracking the pace. This time the mount of Anne Stokell has the option to allow others to set the tempo before asking Legal Set to find an extra gear before the line. He looks a good bet if tactics do not conspire against him.
