It's impossible to have much faith in Mandy's Boy at present and he was pulled up on his only previous try over fences. But Tomorrow's Legend is getting closer and Star Presenter won at Fontwell in March and has also been placed nine times over the larger obstacles. BOLLIN LINE was second over a longer trip here at the start of the month and may just outstay these on the ground. He's definitely preferred to stablemate Odds On Dan, though it would be no surprise to see Morning With Ivan thereabouts with a clear round.
