Verdict

The progressive NOVEL LEGEND is a step ahead of the assessor under a 3 lb penalty and, with this new trip unlikely to pose a problem, he will take plenty of stopping in his bid to complete the hat-trick. The fact that he was a winner here on his sole previous visit in September also augurs well. Justus is also 'well-in' under a penalty following his wide-margin Doncaster success and he is next on the list ahead of The Predictor.
