Verdict
EASTERN LEGEND (NAP) has run well in all three starts this campaign and remains on a winnable mark. At the opposite end of the weights, Boher Road dropped back to this trip at Navan to record a comfortable victory and a 5lb rise is negated by his rider's claim. Hutton Glen makes his handicap debut having been beaten eight lengths into second over the track and trip while Bella Nebula has been racing over much further since arriving from France and could be well treated. Devore was staying on over shorter at Leopardstown.
