Verdict

Bay To Go only won a novice hunter chase at Fontwell last month and LOST LEGEND has much more scope. The form of the top weight's victory at Worcester hasn't worked out but that was his first run over the larger obstacles and there should be much more to come. Adrenalin Flight has been placed in all three starts over fences and should be thereabouts again but Risk and Captain Sully continue to disappoint so a bigger danger may be Irish raider Acapulco Gold.
