Verdict

Course specialist LES'S LEGACY captured this prize 12 months ago and teed himself up well for a repeat when a patiently-ridden eighth at Sedgefield last time. He can capitalise on a 2 lb lower mark here at the chief expense of the progressive Another High Five and reliable Drop Kick. George Bewley's duo Do Ye Wanna and Yapper Hill can also have a say in this highly competitive handicap.
