After victories at Kelso and Newcastle, Clan Legend will be fancied to complete his hat-trick here despite having been raised another 7lb. But improving Doncaster third Buckled is a danger and so is ORCHARD ROAD, who is probably back on a decent mark judged on last week's third in a Catterick seller – this isn't much better. Diamond D'amour was second at Wetherby on his reappearance and will handle the conditions and Why But Why has hinted at ability on occasions and could run well at decent odds.
