Lost Legend would pick this lot up on his best form, but it's a while since he showed anything like that and he can only be watched at present. This looks a suitable opportunity for SAROQUE, who isn't running too badly at the moment and this looks a bit easier than some of the contests he's been in recently. Harry Nugent seems to get on well with him and he can get his head in front today. Coolking would hold an excellent chance under the penalty but that was a tough contest he was in last week, and he may not have got over it. Replacement Plan wouldn't want it heavy, but there's a race to be won somewhere with him.
