Verdict

One of the more complex puzzles on the card with no outstanding profiles but IT’S GOT LEGS shaped well enough in an Ascot handicap hurdle over a shorter trip last time to suggest that he could win off this mark stepped up in trip with a visor now applied. Plantagenet is another who looks capable of winning something like this with his last two races hinting that he’s coming back to the sort of form he was in when scoring his four-timer. The Drone could be dangerous with a soft lead while Granard might appreciate a sounder surface in first-time headgear; those two factors may arrest his slide. Another in first-time headgear No Hiding Place is a consistent sort and looks booked for a place.
  1. It's Got Legs
  2. Plantagenet
