GEORGE'S LAD has stepped forward with each run over hurdles and should find the longer trip here up his street, so is fancied to provide the in-form Emma Lavelle yard with another winner. The form of As Legends Have It's hurdles debut looks strong and he can pose the biggest threat, with Nicky Henderson's Calimystic also considered after a promising bumper effort.
