Verdict

A cracking handicap for this good prize and LEGAL HISTORY has really taken off since blinkers were fitted and can complete the hat-trick.. In a race with many dangers Brandon Castle looks sure to give it a good go from the front while Equus Amadeus has to be feared after his fine run at Ayr last week.
