It's Got Legs wouldn’t be winning out of turn but is looking a little exposed and Gary Moore also runs easy Wincanton scorer Gleno. The latter makes a quick reappearance under a penalty but looks to making giant strides and won a bumper on heavy going at Ayr around this time last year. Duc De Beauchene only beat Mr Jack a length at Plumpton and is 3lb worse off but looks more straightforward than his rival and is expected to confirm the form. YOUNG WOLF isn’t out of this having gone close over the trip at Hereford in December. He gets the nod as he makes more appeal than Cold As Ice and Mack The Man with Jonjo O'Neil Jr taking off 5lb.
