3/1
Left hurdle debut behind when springing a 40/1 surprise in a Ffos Las maiden in January. Shaped well in a race which tested speed more than stamina at Fakenham next time prior to finding the EBF Final too competitive. This is more suitable and no surprise were he to bounce back.

6/4
Point winner who didn't need to improve to get off the mark over hurdles in 7-runner maiden (25.5f) at Hereford 6 weeks ago, making all. Should be competitive under a penalty.

6/4
Confirmed previous promise when off the mark in 6-runner handicap at Newbury (16.3f, soft) 27 days ago, travelling strongly. Bred to be suited by the step up in trip and looks difficult to oppose.

25/1
Below expectations on sole outing in bumpers but improved on hurdling debut form when second in 7-runner maiden at Ludlow (23.8f, good to soft) last month, staying on having been hampered 3 out. This demands another step forward for new yard.

Hinted at ability on sole outing in bumpers but went with no promise on Plumpton hurdle debut. Upped markedly in trip.

Forecasts

Authentic Legacy (6/4), Tommy The Tank (6/4), Elysian Knight (3/1), Doctor Midas (25/1), Fox Cottage (200/1)

Verdict

AUTHENTIC LEGACY is bred to be suited by the step up in trip, so is taken to follow up his decisive win at Newbury at the beginning of the month. Elysian Knight is expected to bounce back from a poor showing in the EBF Final and rates the main threat ahead of Tommy The Tank.

  1. Authentic Legacy6/4
  2. Elysian Knight3/1
