20/1

Sold from Roger Charlton for 50,000 soon after his final outing last autumn but has offered little in 3 starts for present stable, well held at Doncaster in June. Up in trip but others preferred.

Lasting Legacy^h¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: P J McDonald| T: C W Fairhurst| OR: 72

4/1

Enjoying a good season, adding another success to the tally at Pontefract (1m, heavy) 10 days ago, displaying a good attitude in the process. 3 lb rise should see her thereabouts again.

Myristica¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S De Sousa| T: T D Easterby| OR: 80| CD

1/1

Off the mark at Nottingham (10.2f) in May and found further progress to go in again over C&D 12 days ago, drawing clear over 1f out. Handicaper applies more pressure but she's a player in any case.

Forecasts

Myristica (1/1), Ms Gandhi (10/3), Lasting Legacy (4/1), Life On The Rocks (12/1), Campari (20/1), Diamondonthehill (22/1)

A competitive handicap despite the small-field, with the narrow vote in favour of MS GANDHI. She produced her best effort to date when runner-up on return/handicap debut at Newmarket (10f) 2 weeks ago, that despite lacking a bit of experience in a muddling affair. She can come out on top, with Myristica and Lasting Legacy heading up the dangers.
