Verdict

COVERT LEGEND isn't bombproof by any means given his propensity to miss the break but he caught the eye in a deeper race than this on Saturday so he's worth risking. Braes of Doune is unexposed for a 6-y-o so has to command respect on return to action, with the quirky Khathak a place contender.
