He is out of a bumper winner, and by Midnight Legend who produce winners. He is going well at home, and would certainly have a decent chance here, albeit in a competitive race for the track.
Sambezi
Oliver SignySambezi is a new horse for the yard and owners. He was running well in his point to point before falling. He has been working well at home and showing promise. We will learn a lot more about him from this race today.
