In depth

Verdict

Joseph O'Brien's presence on board LEGENDARY TIMES will ensure strong support for the recent Gowran winner and though hit with an 11lb rise for an easy victory the runner-up won on Wednesday and the form looks strong enough for this. Llew Law is still a maiden but ran her best race to date at Tramore last week and can run from the same mark here. She had Night Singer behind on that occasion and there appears no reason for a reversal of the places, but Akinspirit looks a big threat as he has been in very good form over hurdles and looks quite well handicapped back on the level.
