In depth
Verdict
Stonebrigg Legend races off the same mark as when second here in January but is now 0-15 under Rules. HERESMYNUMBER (NAP) likes it here and won off a higher mark at Sedgefield last season. He should be ready for a switch back to fences and makes more appeal than Truckers Tangle, though Alex Dunn’s charge still has a bit of scope over the larger obstacles. A similar comment applies to Primal Focus but Little Jimmy isn’t getting any younger and hasn’t won in three years.
