        Verdict

        True Legend bids for a hat-trick upped in class and distance while Struth made a winning handicap debut at Chester. However the latter’s stablemate Hope You Can Run finished behind third-placed Rathgar at York. Several make their handicap bows including Chester runner-up Chronograph but the latter has a bit to find on collateral form with SAINT GEORGE, who improves with every start and debuts on Turf having won at Southwell last time. Prosper Legend was a maiden winner at Catterick and is another to consider in an open affair.
