Movie Legend is in excellent form and arrives off the back of a win at Wetherby but CRACKING FIND goes from strength-to-strength and showed a very willing attitude when rallying to beat Forest Bihan here in January in a race in which Nuts Well was a close-up third when coming to grief two out. Sue Smith’s charge has another 5lb today but could complete the hat-trick. Copain De Classe is starting to slip down the weights and Theo goes well fresh so isn’t out of this.
