Another tricky contest where EASTER LEGEND is given the narrow vote. Emma Lavelle thinks plenty of this mare, who was the best of this lot over hurdles. She acts on good ground or softer, will be well prepared, and this trip is an ideal starting point over fences. Venetia Williams is renowned for getting them ready to win after a break, so her chasing newcomer Dansimar has to be respected and she is proven on the ground and at this track. Raise You Five merits plenty of respect with improvement anticipated and some cut in the ground to his liking, while Cobbler's Queen is another to note and one who is unlikely to go long without a chase success.
