Verdict

NOVEL LEGEND picked up where he left off last term by landing a 2m Kempton handicap on his reappearance and, though now 4 lb higher in a stronger race, he looks the way to go with further progress likely at this trip. There will be a question mark surrounding Vino Victrix should the word 'soft' appear in the going description, as seems likely, but such conditions will be of no concern to the likes of Mostly Sunny, Secret Shadow and Star Caliber, and they are feared most in that order.
