Lermoos Legend^p⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 107| CD

2/1

Completed a 4-timer last summer (3 at Ffos Las, 1 over C&D). Almost certainly needed run on return at Chepstow 44 days ago and rates a player if coming on from that.

Form: 2/11115-

Sword Of Fate²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: D R Fox| T: L Kerr| OR: 106| CD

11/4

Took advantage of a falling mark to make all at Perth 20 days ago. Up 5 lb but scored from this mark last summer and has winning form over C&D, so looks primed for another bold show.

Form: 6865-31

Got Trumped²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: C O'Farrell| T: A M Thomson| OR: 102| D

17/2

Infrequent winner for Jessica Harrington in Ireland and has seemingly again completely lost his way for current yard. Can't be trusted at present.

Form: 95384-7

Ardera Cross^p²⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-8| J: Sean Quinlan| T: W Young Jnr| OR: 95| CD

7/2

Makes a rare venture away from Ayr, where he won twice last term. Scored over C&D 2 years ago and has edged back down to last winning mark, so holds place claims.

Form: 11347-5

Budarri^p²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Danny McMenamin| T: W Coltherd| OR: 84

11/2

Scored twice over fences during early 2019. Proved he retains some ability after long absence over the winter, but tied up badly on return last month and jumping has also been an issue recently. Others look more solid.

Form: 3/6F34-8

Non-Runners

Tonto's Spirit²

Weight: 12-1| Age: 10

T: Mrs Dianne Sayer J: C O'Farrell

Forecasts

Lermoos Legend (2/1), Tonto's Spirit (9/4), Sword Of Fate (11/4), Ardera Cross (7/2), Budarri (11/2), Got Trumped (17/2)

SWORD OF FATE has looked back to his best recently and can follow up his Perth success. Lermoos Legend is feared most if able to resume last summer's progress, whilst course regular Tonto's Spirit is never one to dismiss here.
