        Verdict

        Neil's Legacy is taken to get losses back at the expense of Sforzando, Gloucester and Trouble Mountain. Neil's Legacy has in the main been most consistent, winning twice and being placed twice as well before letting her supporters down at Ayr a fortnight ago. The mare carried her head high that day which is a bit of a worry, but in the hope that she just had an off day, Linda Perrett's charge is selected to bounce back on ground that suits. Sforzando returned to winning ways at Haydock and is still well treated on form of old. In addition, Tom Eaves is unbeaten in two rides on her, so she has to go on the short-list. Gloucester handled cut in France, and was a shade unlucky-in-running on his first visit here last week, so can be added to calculations, and Trouble Mountain, who can get his toe in, is starting to look well handicapped again. This fairly open contest can go to Neil's Legacy.
