LEGEND OF ZORRO is back on a winning mark and started favourite when third last time at Hereford. He’s had wind surgery since and could recoup losses. Rosmuc Relay may be in need of a confidence-booster but Carry On The Magic will have learned plenty from his second at Musselburgh, where he led for a long way, and Jobesgreen Lad beat Ambion Hill at Ludlow before completing a double at Hereford, though will have to defy a further 9lb rise. Wavering Down is a half-brother to a winning chaser so a switch to fences should suit.
