Legends Ryde was due to race in the 4.00 here yesterday. Hugos Other Horse won at Fontwell back in February while Stoner's Choice scored at Warwick in April and both could go well representing yard’s in good form. The latter’s stablemate Brief Ambition is not out of this either having won at Southwell recently while Everglow and Dusty's Choice made winning starts at Chepstow and Ayr respectively. But TIME FLIES BY made his winning debut in heavy going over course and distance at last month’s fixture and Nicky Henderson’s charge gets a tentative vote to come out best in what looks an open affair.
