River Bray was just beaten off this mark at Wincanton last month having won earlier at that track. Totterdown slips further down the weights and will make sure this is run at good pace and that will suit the returning Masters Legacy, who needs further but did beat Sunday’s Newbury winner Polish when last seen. Pic D'Orhy has been chasing this term and has plenty of weight though Harry Cobden rides him rather than Rockadenn but KING ROLAND is preferred. Harry Fry’s charge has been absent since a run over the larger obstacles at Uttoxeter in October but goes well fresh and he still has more scope than majority of these.
