Verdict
NOBLE LEGEND made it three in a row over fences when scoring on his comeback at Haydock last month. He's up another 8lb but is worth sticking with until beaten. A visor replaces the cheekpieces on Eyre Apparent after his latest second at Wetherby though he's still 10lb higher than when scoring at Perth in August and Gougane is turned out quickly having finished runner-up at Southwell during the week. No No Bingo posted his best effort over fences so far with a win at Fontwell last month and makes more appeal than Qualitee, well beaten at Ludlow on her comeback run.
