Ran to form on handicap debut, suited by a positive ride at this sharp track, when fourth, beaten 15l, in a handicap hurdle here latest. Effective over 2 1/2m and acts on soft; probably a bit more to come in handicaps.
Yet to place in seven starts. Finished 15l behind Local Derby when fourth of 11 at 12-1 on his latest outing in a hurdle race here over 2m 4f (heavy) last month.

Verdict
CALL ME LEGEND ran a career best when victorious at this level at Exeter last month and, based on that performance, he will relish this extra yardage. Off just a 4lb higher figure, he could prove tough to beat. Despite taking a keen hold, Don't Tell Rosie did well to finish a creditable third at Chepstow but will definitely need to settle better over this longer trip. Seatoit completes the shortlist.
Expert View Verdict
An open race where SEATOIT may be able to shed his maiden tag. He travelled strongly before flattening out after a bad late error last time but he wasn't beaten far in a stronger contest and he is 10lb lower here with his jockey's claim. His bumper form demonstrated his ability on easy ground and he should be able to defeat Don't Tell Rosie who bounced back to form with a placed effort last time despite an overly negative ride. If she stays this longer trip she can fill the podium with the unexposed Badentaggart who ran well here on his handicap debut over 2 1/2m and is open to further improvement.
