Fagan followed a hat-trick of point-to-point victories with a bumper win at Perth last month under Richard Johnson. But MEET THE LEGEND made a winning start under Rules with a convincing win at Kelso and that form looks solid with the third subsequently winning. Keith Dalgleish's charge gets the nod ahead of My Simon, a close-up second over track and trip back in March. Agentleman was placed at Thurles in the same month and could go well on his first start for Tim Easterby.
