Pearls Legend is still a maiden over fences but isn't without a chance of putting that right here as he has his sights lowered. Le Bacardy won his first start over fences at Kempton last May but has struggled since. However, he still has time of his side as does Memorabilia, though the latter might just need this. SHADRACK sports blinkers for the first time and isn't badly treated on his best form. He never figured at Doncaster last time but they are unlikely to go as quickly here and the grey shouldn't be far away.
