Verdict

BARONY LEGENDS was well held upped in grade at Cheltenham last time, but he'd previously created a good impression at Lingfield and looks the one to beat now returned to calmer waters fitted with a first-time tongue strap. Has Troke and recent C&D winner Dreaming Blue are considered the main threats.

  1. BARONY LEGENDS (IRE)
  2. HAS TROKE (FR)
  3. DREAMING BLUE
