Horse A-Z
Resumed winning ways in a 9-runner handicap hurdle at Stratford (26.4f, good) last July. Runner-up both starts at Warwick since returning to action last month and while his sketchy jumping remains a concern, it's not hard to envisage this 8-y-o playing a leading role.

Scored in this sphere at Fakenham in December and has won 4 times on the Flat since. Placed last 2 hurdles starts worth another try at this sort of trip, so there is cause for optimism.

Remains with just the sole win over hurdles from 20 starts in this sphere and he was safely held at Stratford last time.

Proved that plenty of ability remains when, fit from points, finishing second in a 4-runner handicap at Perth in May. However, he ran no sort of a race back there 3 weeks ago and is opposable on the back of that poor effort.

Bounced back to form to capitalise on lower hurdles mark in 13-runner handicap at Southwell (24.3f, good) last month. No show next 2 starts, though, and he's probably worth taking on.

Remains a maiden following 17 attempts over hurdles, but she has posted several creditable efforts in defeat, including when fifth of 15 on debut for new yard at Hexham last month. Not quite so good at Cartmel since, but she's a player nonetheless.

Temperamental sort who capitalised on his falling handicap mark (after 7 months off) in 7-runner handicap at Stratford in April. However, somewhat unsurprisingly he has failed to fire since.

6/1
Lightly-raced mare who looked an improved performer when making a winning start for new yard in 25f Huntingdon handicap in May. Viable excuses for subsequent no show at Fakenham, but her profile is starting to look rather patchy.

This point winner hasn't shown much in 4 runs under Rules to date and is readily passed over.

Little impact in 3 runs for Nicky Henderson, but appeared to take a step forward on second run for this yard/handicap debut when third of 9 at Market Rasen (23f, good). Possibilities here if able to build on that.

Forecasts

Star Legend (11/4), Fine By Me (7/2), Mayos Vendangeur (11/2), Lyness Dancer (6/1), Jungle Wood (10/1), Jack The Savage (10/1), No Rematch (14/1), Big Bee Hive (14/1), Presenting Yeats (16/1), Highway Hero (33/1)

Verdict

Judged on his most recent efforts in this sphere, STAR LEGEND looks ready for another crack at this sort of trip and he gets the nod ahead of Mayos Vendangeur and Jungle Wood, while Fine By Me also enters calculations.
