HUNTER LEGEND was done for a turn of foot in a messy bumper at Ffos Las but is well worth another chance to confirm his debut run over this C&D in the hope this is run at a sound pace. Largy Train has to be of interest starting out for Paul Nicholls while Altobelli could be the pick of a strong-looking trio of debutants.
