HOLY LEGEND 13/2
HOLY LEGEND at 13/2, Alexandra Dunn and James Best, is the one I want to be with. He has already won around this track and gets a trip he has won over.
DIPLOMATIC ASH rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won last time, and there is no comparable mark in this code to judge the rise.
The dangers are I SHUT THAT D'OR at 15/2 (not hard ridden last time) and MIRALAGO at 6/1.
