Bright Legend (G)
FAV
[T]
Winner on the Flat and though yet to hit the target following 19 attempts over jumps, he has posted several solid efforts in defeat. Latest third in a 15-runner Wincanton handicap (2½m, soft) was among his best jumps form and he has strong…

Hay Max (G)
Shaped like a ready-made future winner when second in a bumper at Bangor on debut last spring. However, failed to build on that in 2 subsequent starts and step forward needed now switched to hurdles.

Who's Glen (G)
Useful handicapper on the Flat for Andrew Balding and placed on 3 of his 4 starts since switched to hurdles, most recently finishing third of 10 on handicap bow in this sphere at Musselburgh (2½m, good). Major player.

[H1T1]
Runner-up in a claimer at Fontainebleau in November on his second and final start for David Cottin. Subsequently changed hands for €16,696 and well held starting out for this yard last month. Now tried in a hood (also tongue strap refitted…
