Drops in grade today, which can only help the situation as he's been well beaten last couple of starts, but questionable whether this drop back to a bare 5f is what he wants. Has form at the track but a risky proposition at present.

Came good over C&D two starts back, coming with a withering run to snatch it late on, and 4lb rise for that not unreasonable, but needs to bounce back from a poor effort at Beverley when last seen. Chances, but may not get the fast pace he needs to show his best.

No issues with this sand surface or this trip, and was a C&D winner here (from just 1lb lower) last December. Has found some consistency lately and no reason not to run his race, but always a hostage to fortune when making his customary late run.

Still a maiden after 14 starts, but has hit the crossbar on a couple of occasions. Latest effort best forgiven as she chased a suicidal early pace, and she may have needed the run anyway. Nicely drawn and not discounted.

Needed first two runs this year after a break, and did better when a close third at Brighton earlier in the month. Drop back to 5f worth a try and looks well handicapped on her best form now.

Likes this surface,m and a winner here two starts back when sticking on well for pressure to get up late. Bath run last time easily forgiven as she lost all chance at the start (reared in stalls) and likely to go close here.

Forecasts

Red Invader (5/2), Picansort (4/1), Staffa (9/2), Billyoakes (5/1), Regal Miss (6/1), Gaia Princess (6/1), Roy's Legacy (7/1), Frangarry (12/1), Double Dutch (14/1)

Verdict

If a good pace could be guaranteed, then Red Invader and Picansort would both hold a first-rate chance but there's no guarantees of that, with no out-and-out front runner in the race. as such, there's the possibility of a messy contest, and ROY'S LEGACY is chosen in the hope that he will be ridden prominently and get first run in the straight. Staffa can be forgiven her run last time and on earlier form, can go close. Regal Miss will surely break her duck at some point soon.
