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.

5	Didn't do much wrong over hurdles and solid start to chase career when landing a 16.5f Worcester handicap (good to soft) recently. 6 lb rise by no means prohibitive and there should be better to come from him in this sphere. 1st Pick 5 Highlands Legacy Jockey: Jonjo O'neill Jr. Trainer: Jonjo & A.J.

6	Fairly useful hurdles form in France and, having changing hands for €450,000 last summer, he landed the Grade 2 Adonis Juvenile Hurdle on second run for this yard at Kempton in February. Struggled in a Grade 1 here next time, but sights lowered now switched to fences and he's of strong interest. 2nd Pick 6 Mambonumberfive (Fr) Jockey: Ben Jones Trainer: Ben Pauling J: Ben Jones T: Ben Pauling	95	-	-	-	29%

2	Lightly-raced 6-y-o who didn't do much wrong in handful of runs over hurdles and winner of first 2 starts in this sphere last season. Failed to fire at Newbury on his latest appearance during the spring, but he's better than that and boasts a good record when fresh. 3rd Pick 2 Javert Allen (Fr) Jockey: Ciaran Gethings Trainer: Mrs Jane Williams J: Ciaran Gethings T: Mrs Jane Williams	100	-	-	-	25%
