Verdict

LITTLE LEDGEND has thrived for the recent switch to chasing and can extend his unbeaten record to 3. Fellow novice Fairlawn Skipper made a winning chase bow in good style at Kelso last month and he looks the other potential improver in the field, while Unanswered Prayers is lurking on a dangerous mark on return.

Fractions

Firm

A dry turf course, equal to a ‘fast’ dirt track.
