Colorado Doc, six times a winner between the flags, should make a race of it with the penalised THOMAS MACDONAGH having only lost out by a neck in a maiden here on his debut under Rules. But Jamie Snowden’s easy Hexham and Wetherby winner is expected to complete the hat-trick. Lermoos Legend looks like he’s making up the numbers.

Lermoos Legend 50-1 (10-12) Always in rear, tailed off 3 out, 8th of 9, dist behind Stolen Silver (10-12) at Ffos Las 2m (4) sft in Nov.
