POTTERS LEGEND ran well when finishing fourth at the Cheltenham Festival when trying 3m2f for the first time. The selection has some solid handicap and graded race form this season and he is taken to register a third chase success by taking this competitive affair. Starchitect ran well over 2m5f at the same meeting last month and while he takes a step into the unknown distance wise here he looked likely to appreciate it judged on that effort and can get the better of Value At Risk who is well handicapped on his hurdles form.
