Verdict

If a recent breathing operation helps ROARING LEGEND to recapture the level of his first 2 outings over hurdles he'll take a bit of stopping. Fellow dual Flat winner Dog Fox didn't shape too badly at Huntingdon over Easter and is second choice ahead of Banteer.

  1. ROARING LEGEND (FR)
  2. DOG FOX
