Verdict

An open-looking contest with preference for THEATRE LEGEND who could be ready to take advantage of a further drop in the weights. Having finished third on his last 3 outings at around 2m, the step back up in trip should suit and he can get back to winning ways on his first start since a wind op. Universal Folly is respected off the back of a career-best effort, while Lignou was an eye-catcher last time.
