Another Theatre was pulled up at Haydock just four days ago. Calle Malva also looks out of her depth but Daphne Moon may have more to offer after only three runs over the larger obstacles. PINK LEGEND can throw in the odd stinker but she was on her best behaviour in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham when finishing four lengths ahead of Zambella, a beaten favourite in this last year, and she’ll take all the beating if in the same mood.
