Punters may be tempted to row in with Galway Legend after his good third behind Silence Speaks at Killarney but he's still a maiden after 44 starts which puts his form in perspective. Pacific Ocean, who was just behind that day, is just 1-43 but at least his lone success came recently and he's at the right end of the handicap. Finisk Rose has just one place from eight starts over fences and is probably a few pounds high even in this lowly grade. ONTHEGOAGAIN scored at Hexham last October for his only chasing victory and though he ran a shocker at Cartmel last time looks reasonably treated to get back to winning ways. Life Of A Luso is a very moderate performer but this won't take much winning and he's shown the occasional hint of ability over fences.
