Verdict

MONBEG LEGEND (NAP) beat subsequent winner Golden Birthday, due to run earlier on the card, when landing a novice chase at Uttoxeter. Nicky Henderson’s charge is preferred to Call Me Vic on that form given the latter is upped in class off a 7lb higher mark for winning at Newton Abbot. Royal Village finished runner-up over track and trip recently and can figure while Easy Street has a chance on his second at Cartmel last time. Exitas and Sporting Boy were placed over hurdles on their respective latest starts but both have to race off higher marks back over the larger obstacles.
