None of these arrive in the best of form so SYLVAN LEGEND is only a token selection. He did, however, go close off a slightly higher mark at Southwell in May and Jamie Bargary's claim will aid his cause, though he does have to reverse last month's Newton Abbot form with veteran Maizy Missile. Fine Resolve's record over fences leaves a lot to be desired and Sword of The Lord appeared to take an instant dislike to the larger obstacles here two weeks ago. Deise Vu should complete, however, so could make the frame.
