In depth
Verdict
Stay Out Of Court was well below par last time at Uttoxeter and is fancied to reverse that form here with Chief Sittingbull. Though a beaten favourite on his return to chasing at Hexham, LAWTOP LEGEND is probably worth another chance on this less taxing circuit and is preferred to chasing newcomers Cobra Angel, a winner over hurdles, and Well Briefed, who has won between the flags.
