RARE LEGEND alternated between hurdles and fences last winter and had a warm-up between the flags before gaining a comprehensive victory at Huntingdon on Saturday. He only has a 4lb penalty to contend with so should make a bold bid for a quick double. Be My Vinnie, a winner at Limerick in March, came off second best against Queeny at Fairyhouse a fortnight ago but is better over this longer trip and should give another good account. Cher Why Not ran easily his best race to date when runner-up over the track and trip last month and wouldn't need much more to get into the picture while Erkindale Lady, who won over fences at Fairyhouse, can run from a lower hurdles mark so has to be respected. Winning point-to-pointer Glenabo Bridge found 2m4f at Fairyhouse on the short side and is another to note in a tricky finale.
