Mister Miyagi returned a losing favourite at Uttoxeter last time having shown promise at Punchestown before that while Mighty Concorde went close at the latter track on his debut but ran a shocker at Leopardstown on Boxing Day. It remains to be seen if MOVIE LEGEND has improved from a debut fourth at Kempton but he should go close if doing so. Bourdello showed some improvement at Fakenham recently while Aka Doun should be capable of better and Bells Of Ailsworth and William H Bonney are newcomers to note.
