FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - A well handicapped horse is a well handicapped horse, veteran or not, as Kruzhlinin showed in style at Navan on Saturday. MACS LEGEND is assessed as a 109 performer over fences and he’s attractive here from a mark of 95. This will be a first outing over flights for the selection, since May 2017. He’s been a terrific servant to connections, his owner Shane Prenderville and trainer Gerry Kelleher. Kelleher is also chair of the Irish Point-to-Point Handlers Association and he has been advocating strongly for that sector, currently suspended due to the Covid-19 restrictions. The Macroom County Cork operator has not surprisingly recently described Macs Legend as “an out and out point-to-point horse.” However, he also reasoned that as a thirteen-year-old now, the Blueprint gelding is not getting any younger, and that time is not on his side to be waiting around with. The mares Knock Na Rea and Chelseas Friend look dangerous.
