An extra ten pounds wouldn't have stopped LEGENDS LASS winning on her Handicap Chase debut last time and we suggest that this lightly raced mare is still ahead of the assessor and can score in this handicap hurdle at the expense of Allperksonice and Daring Racer. That last run was also the selections fencing bow as well and the switch to the bigger obstacles certainly worked the oracle for her has she romped to a 13 lengths victory. That wasn't even a faultless round and with her likely to build on that run she should go in again on her return to running over timber. Allperksonice also won on her last start, which came in a selling handicap hurdle and it's reasonable to suggest that her eight pound mark rise is a fair one. Daring Racer is yet to win in any sphere but did progress from his first to second hurdle start last time to find only an easy winner too good and although he's up a couple of pounds for that he should still be in close order. Compton Star is another weighted to mount some sort of challenge in this race but Legends Lass was impressive last time and should build on that run.
