FormscanBy Michael Graham - SKY LEGEND has been runner-up on his last two starts over course and distance and can get his turn. He wasn't beaten far in either contest and remains on a competitive mark. Sean Bowen couldn't use his claim in an apprentice race the last day, but now claims 5lb which is a bonus. Bright N Shine is the one horse arriving on the back of a victory. He took the honours by half a length over an extended 10 furlongs at this track earlier in the month and has placed form over this trip on turf, so has a more than reasonable chance. Caulaincourt could go better over this new trip in first-time blinkers while Hearts Are Trumps has been a money-spinner over hurdles and makes some appeal off a mark of 66 on his return to the Flat in first-time cheekpieces.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards rated 47-70Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
