In depth
Verdict
Legendary won easily at Kempton last week but has shown his best form on the Polytrack and is probably worth opposing here under a penalty. MY GUARDIAN ANGEL also carries 6lb extra after scoring over track and trip last week but he can confirm that form with third Standing Strong and follow up with Neil Callan again taking the ride. The handicapper has Brown Pete just where he wants him and Syncopate usually finds one too good but Silver Alliance could be interesting as he seems to like it here and it's always worth forgiving a poor run at Brighton.
