Verdict

HUNTER LEGEND signalled he's ready to get off the mark when a clear Leicester second last time out and with this longer trip a likely plus too he can edge out Charlie Longsdon's progressive Worcester scorer Harjo. Eaton Collina is another who needs factoring in along with Soldier of Destiny and William Cody.
