Crack At Dawn got off the mark over fences at Towcester last time and should make another bold bid off only a 3lb higher mark, but LEGENDS LASS makes more appeal. She's now won two of her three starts in chases having scored at Newton Abbot last week and looks up to defying a penalty here with more to come. Irish import Bold Perk has yet to score in 10 starts over fences, but arrives on the back of a point-to-point victory and improvement is expected on his first start for David Pipe, while Simply Strong had a subsequent winner back in third when going close on his latest start and he's another to consider.
