A keen contest with Southerly Buster and Sisu Spirit leading from Tempranillo. IVY LEGEND (5) has a foot on the till after chasing home a horse last start who has won again since. Senior rider and savvy yard only add to the appeal. The one to beat. SISU SPIRIT (1) is a recent trial winner who showed good application in his debut campaign. Despite a wide draw will be pushing hard and fast from the outset. TEMPRANILLO (6) wasn’t beaten far on debut three weeks back in a city maiden. With a tick over trial since rates a much fitter proposition. HEAVENLY KISS (8) has race fitness on her side and looks ready for the step up in trip. Ideally drawn to produce her best. SOUTHERLY BUSTER (3) boxed on well in a small field on debut but would need to find a few lengths on that to challenge these. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ivy Legend win. Box exacta 5-1.
