FormscanBy Alan Magee - EASTERN LEGEND was a smart sort on the Flat winning three times last year including a valuable 1m4f handicap at Leopardstown and certainly has the best piece of hurdle form when just over three lengths fifth to Kargese in the Grade 1 Champion 4YO Hurdle here at the Festival meeting. Zillow won twice on the Flat in France at around 1m4f and was bought for 300,000 euro at Arqana last year, while Sermandzarak also represents powerful connections and won twice here in bumpers including the valuable Goffs Defender Bumper at the Festival. Butch Cassidy won a Ballinrobe bumper for Philip Fenton in April while point-to-point winner Shuffle The Deck is another to note.
