This Horse Is Sale Partnership’s Cresswell Legend won the bumper in fine front running style at Huntingdon yesterday. Ably ridden by Mikey Hamill this lovely horse by Midnight Legend gelding has only run three times.

Cresswell Legend won a point to point in Ireland and was third on his only bumper appearance at Southwell, where we felt he should have won. Coughing during the winter which delayed his reappearance and yesterday he showed what we know he is capable of. He is a decent horse and is for sale.. Ring me for details.. He has a very bright future. To watch Cresswell Legends win click here.
