      Verdict

      Johnnys Legacy got off the mark at the 17th time of asking over 1m4f last week and faces a much stiffer task. Jigalo has been in good form over fences but is unlikely to have the pace for this and Shake The Bucket might just need the run having been absent since scoring here in October. General Bunching won a handicap over the C&D before a slightly disappointing effort two weeks ago behind Aragorn Rouge. SILVERLORD finished just in front of him in that event and Gordon Elliott's charge, who was in cracking form over timber at this time a year ago, can take this as that was his first start for over a year.
