Verdict

LE FORBAN showed improved form despite still looking a bit rough around the edges when forcing a dead heat on handicap bow at Lingfield on his return and should have more to offer over this longer trip. State Legend quickly got back on the up with a stylish win at Doncaster last week and is an obvious threat, while Al Azhar should be suited by this step up in trip.

  1. LE FORBAN
  2. STATE LEGEND (IRE)
  3. AL AZHAR (IRE)
