Twice a winner over hurdles and successful between the flags, Quick Pick has scope as a chaser. The Reaping Race won over timber in Ireland for Emmet McNamara but is having a first run for Rebecca Menzies. THE LATE LEGEND (NAP) has won twice over course and distance this term and was also successful at Huntingdon in between. He’s proving a revelation over fences and Luke Scott’s claim takes care of his penalty.
