Verdict
Plenty with a shout but SUCH A LEGEND was beaten only a length in a higher grade handicap at Uttoxeter last time and Kim Bailey’s charge should go close again with a similar effort. Castlemorris King has decent claims on his recent second at Worcester while Sirius Star, Master Dee and Gentleman Moore were all placed in their respective novice handicaps last time with the former finishing second over these fences. Cusheen Bridge and Fort Worth have slipped down the weights but need to step up on their recent form to figure while Mr Snoozy and Kublai have both won over hurdles and make their chasing debuts in this.
