LIFETIME LEGEND has improved from run to run this season, barely having to come off the bridle to break his maiden at Catterick last week, so is taken to defy a 7 lb penalty in a competitive-looking event. Forever Blessed looked a useful juvenile last term and is better than he was able to show on his return, whilst Pyramid Place and Kotmask also arrive in good heart and merit serious respect.
