In depth

Verdict

Movie Legend is having a first run over hurdles since second over track and trip a year ago when 4lb higher in the weights. With Corey McGivern taking off 10lb, the top weight is not out of this. Glimpse Of Gold is only 2lb higher than when successful over course and distance in October and Reverend Jacobs escapes a penalty having made all in a conditionals’ race at Wetherby last week. IRISH ODYSSEY is still a maiden but appeared to threw away certain victory at Sedgefield earlier this month. Cheekpeices are added today and this drop in trip could also help him finally get his head in front. Good Bye can’t be ignored but Billy's Angel was due to run yesterday at Fontwell.
