Verdict
FIRESNAKE finally showed some improvement for a slide down the weights when placed over track and trip last time. A repeat effort should see him go close in this lower grade. Roy's Legacy is capable of scoring off his current mark and was third at Southwell last month while Sir Harry Collins was beaten a length when last seen at this venue in December. Mighty Zip and La Fortuna slip further down the handicap and could bounce back at any time.
