Verdict

Overcourt has been hard to train but was second over 2m4f here last month, though may not be suited by the drop in distance. Fay Ce Que Voudras, a winner over hurdles at the start of the year, has travelled up from Herefordshire but LES’S LEGACY begins his chase career on a decent mark and had a very good record on this stiff track over timber. Leading Force was 0-6 over hurdles but has a won a point and winning hurdler Artemis Kimbo has had only four career starts. One Mill Harbour is 2-3 over fences but up another 5lb here.
