Verdict

HIGHLANDS LEGACY was well on top at the finish when making a winning chase debut at Worcester and, with the promise of better to come, he is taken to maintain his 100% record in this sphere. If Mambonumberfive makes a good shape over fences at the first attempt he will be a big threat armed with his handy 4-y-o allowance, while Javert Allen is third choice ahead of Dunstall Rambler, who scored in good style on his reappearance.

  1. HIGHLANDS LEGACY
