Spirit Of Legend fetched £100,000 at the sales in Cheltenham last December after finishing second in a point-to-point in Loughbrickland on his sole start, and gets the nod to make a winning rules debut. The winner of that point-to-point, incidentally was having his third start and has since joined the Willie Mullins’ stable.
The selection represents the trainer jockey combination who took the bumper at Punchestown on Thursday.
