In depth
Verdict
LEGACY GOLD was well supported when making a winning debut at Sedgefield where the confidence was certainly justified. He faces a stiff task with his penalty but looks quite useful and can follow up. Miss Duffy looks best of the remainder who have had a run but it's a couple of newcomers who catch the eye and one of them, Venetia Williams' Falcon's Present, may prove the biggest threat as she's out of a winning bumper Delta Forty is another with a pedigree for this as she's a half-sister to a winning bumper and out of a winning mare.
