Waltz Legend has won three times between the flags but never under Rules in 20 starts though won't get many better opportunities in this poor contest. Le Grand Chene won over slightly further here last May but was running poorly over hurdles last summer while Suzy's Music followed her victory over a small field at Wetherby with a well beaten second at Kelso so a chance is taken that TOWN POND can get back to the sort of form that saw him win this a year ago. Cnoc Sion has a bit more scope than most of these and can prove best of the remainder.
