LEITH HILL LEGASI made a fairly positive return to action last month at Chepstow and drops a grade now, giving Charlie Longsdon's runner a sound claim. She has a decent strike rate over fences (3-18, with four more placed efforts) and all those wins have come on soft/heavy going. Any rain would therefore further boost her chance. How's My Friend likes this track, finishing runner-up in in four of his five previous visits and arrives in decent form while previous C&D scorer How's Vienna is worth keeping an eye on first start for his new yard. General Girling and Shanann Star are also capable of getting involved.
