Verdict

A change of scenery and the move to a top yard may revive the enthusiasm of NORSE LEGEND who would be well in on the best of his form of two years ago. He handles heavy ground and landed his only previous success at this track. Gary Moore sets a poser running both Graasten and Justification, with jockey bookings stiill unclear and the former returning from a spell on the sidelines. The market should guide as to their respective chances.Theydon Park is not without hope after a better first effort for his new yard, and last year's winner Ding Ding can't be ruled out either.
