Verdict
Legionar, from a yard in terrific form, ran a nice race on debut over 1m6f at Huntingdon and should again beat the unplaced Poetria. Simply Red didn’t show much at Market Rasen but this can go to a newcomer with Mario Hofer’s SANDRINGHAM a likely sort. He’s a half-brother to useful hurdler Surin and has travelled a long way for this. Saveasea, a half-brother to a Flat winner, and Bo Kaap, related to jumps winner Multiviz, could also play a part.
