PLANET LEGEND: Following its run on 27/12/2022 it was reported that the horse ran novicey early-on.

Probable S.P’s: 2-1 Elogio (IRE), 11-4 Allihies (IRE), 7-2 Captain Kane (GB), 12-1 Ghasham (IRE), 14-1 Planet Legend (IRE), 25-1 Tropical Talent (GB), 33-1 Edinburgh Rock (IRE), 100-1 Vaxholm (IRE) PLAY

Those with previous hurdles experience don’t set a tall standard and it may pay to take a chance on ALLIHIES. A fairly useful performer on the Flat in Ireland, he starts out for a top yard now tackling timber and it would come as no surprise to see him make his mark. Aintree bumper scorer Elogio is also of interest, while prolific Flat scorer Captain Kane also demands a market check now hurdling.
