Unknown Legend was carrying a penalty when beaten at Fontwell last time but it was still a disappointing effort given he had won a higher grade chase at Fakenham before that. He also has something to find with Moorlands Jack on running over course and distance in October. The latter is preferred to Stratford winner Prince Des Marais and the inconsistent Bob Tucker while No Likey has something to prove over this longer trip. FURROWS was placed off higher marks on several occasions in 2013 and ran well for a long way on his comeback at Uttoxeter. He may up to landing this off a his current mark and gets a speculative vote.
