Jokers Legacy can land the finale at the expense of Sheer Magnetism and Snakecharm. The selection ran well on his debut when second to Nolato at Bangor. He looked to run a little green that day and now with experience on his side he can take advantage and win his. Of his rivals Sheer Magnetism is worth noting as he comes from the Carl Llewellyn yard who are notorious for having them ready first time of asking so any market moves should be noted. Snakecharm had one run last year when second of eleven at Fontwell behind Clay Hollister. Jim Old is a trainer that produces his fair share of bumper winners so is well worth respecting but for the winner we return to Jokers Legacy.
