1m perhaps too far and 6f possibly too sharp, so may have dropped on her right trip when coming home well to win a 7f classified race last week at Southwell; every chance of following up on these terms.

They might have dropped on the right trip with STAR OF ATLANTIS who finished strongly from off the pace to collect at Southwell. Match Anthem is on a hat-trick but Neptune Legend earns second preference with the return of headgear a plus for him.[Alistair Jones]
