Providing his fall here last month hasn't left a mental scar, KING'S LEGACY can get off the mark over fences today. Paul Nicholls' seven-year-old was a decent sort over timber and still has plenty of scope. Mickmacmagoole shaped with a bit of promise when third on his chase debut at Wetherby but is more exposed than the selection and has never been totally reliable. Hi Tide overturned an odds-on shot at Huntingdon last month but the merit of that form is questionable and he faces a much stiffer task here under a penalty.
