CLAN LEGEND made a bold bid to land a four-timer when third at Uttoxeter last time. A course and distance winner before that, he's worth another chance off his current mark in this modest company. Quick Decisson was runner-up over fences here last month but is 5lb higher back over timber while See Double You finished a bit closer at Fairyhouse on his latest start but has to race off a 10lb higher mark today. One For Hocky and Marcus Antonius look no closer to winning despite both having slipped down the weights recently.
