Verdict

LEGEND OF ZORRO is only 1 lb higher than his last winning mark and he looked back in form at Wincanton last time, so he's marginally preferred to the grade-dropping Marble Moon, who arrives in reasonable form. Orchestrated also warrants a mention.

  1. LEGEND OF ZORRO (IRE)
  2. MARBLE MOON (IRE)
  3. ORCHESTRATED (IRE)
