In depth

Verdict

A novice hunter chase rounds off the card Bardon Boy, Agile King, Tale Bridge and Bak On Board are all sure to have there supporters. But we prefer to side with Legatus. The gelding is from the bang in form David Pipe yard and he has been in fine form between the flags of late and he will be hard to beat as he goes on any ground. Bardon Boy is another that could go well as he is another in form but his best efforts have been on fast ground. Agile King is from a shrewd yard and is worth a cautionary look in the market. The remainder need to improve on all known form to take a hand in the finish.
