LEGAL EYES has the form in the book with a debut second at Bangor in December. Ben Pauling’s charge is preferred to Inheritance Thief, placed in all three outings so far including this venue on his penultimate start when ahead of Northern Soul. Rockery Garden is a likely improver while newcomers to keep a close eye on include the 90,000 euros purchase Vamanos, Midnight Sonata and Dan Skelton’s representative Elton Des Mottes.
