ROCK LEGEND left the form of his debut behind when fourth (third past the post) in a bumper at Taunton 6 months ago and, based on his pedigree, he should make a better hurdler, so a chance is taken on him to make a winning start in this sphere. Point winner Anyharminasking is an obvious threat and Geromino is the best of those with experience in this discipline.
