Having snapped a long losing run in March, LES'S LEGACY bounced right back to form in a 0-120 at this track earlier this month and may be able to capitalise on this drop in grade. Billable Grant is still on a fair mark following his Perth win and will be seen to best effect if they go a true gallop, Wee Alki should be up there with the pace and is another to consider having only been narrowly denied off 1 lb lower last time.
