SULA'S LEGEND appeared the likeliest winner of a dramatic race when falling at Chepstow and can make amends. She's Humble and Uncle Eli rate the dangers but there are some dark horses lurking just under the surface so the market may prove to be revealing. Sula's Legend is a known quantity from an in-form yard and his return to form is directly linked to the ground drying out; his mistake was uncharacteristic and he has the form to go close. She's Humble didn't get competitive over hurdles on her return from a break but has shown enough over fences to think that she can be competitive with that run under her belt. Uncle Eli has had the misfortune to bump into some very useful sorts throughout his career and hasn't really shone. This is much more realistic though and he's worth keeping an eye on with his yard having sent out a winner relatively recently. Sarahs Gift is another from a yard going well but he has some jumping issues to address. High Ball's chase runs have come on more testing ground and the quicker conditions may enable him to finish closer whilst this is Balableu's first taste of chasing in public and he may benefit from the switch. Another that may benefit from the switch to the larger obstacles is The Little Chancer and market support for this gelding who is bred to make a chaser would look significant as he hails from a shrewd yard. That is pure speculation at this stage though so the solid claims of Sula's Legend get the vote.
