The four-year-old LEGAL HISTORY was a fair middle-distance maiden on the Flat and has shown enough in his first two starts over hurdles to suggest a race such as this is within his compass. He looks on a workable mark for his handicap bow. Tim Rocco and Navajo War Dance both have reasonable claims, and maybe teenager First Of Never has turned over a new leaf following his surprse first win last time. Pullman Brown is the dark horse having fallen to an appealing mark if he can reprise his decent form on the Flat of a few seasons ago.
