Morning Legend showed nothing in two runs on testing ground last autumn but today's conditions may bring about improvement. Paul Gilligan won this a year ago with the fancied Bold Buccaneer and his One Cool Tornado will be expected to complete the double. Runner-up in a Stratford bumper last September, he occupied the same spot at Ffos Las on his only subsequent start in June when he probably needed the run though he was beaten a long way. Ross Limestone has done enough to suggest he can get competitive but the vote goes to TA BLAZES, who made a very promising start to her career when less than four lengths behind The Grey Express at Ballinrobe last month.
