Verdict

KING ROLAND made a positive return when third in a novice at Uttoxeter on chasing debut and remains with potential in this sphere, so he's fancied to improve past a mark of 140 up against, in the main, more exposed types. Masters Legacy is progressive but has a lengthy absence to overcome, so last year's Betfair Hurdle winner Pic d'Orhy could pose the main threat to the selection.
