Leith Hill Legasi has been running poorly and though dropped 4lb didn't perform well enough at Towcester last time to merit consideration. Hansupfordetroit managed to win very easily at Uttoxeter in December but has struggled from his revised weight subsequently so the vote in a poor contest goes to last year's winner VEAUCE DE SIVOLA. He's been struggling to maintain that kind of form but had finished second in the event the previous year and the ground is in his favour. Black Narcissus has dropped to a winnable mark but has been badly out of form
