TRUE LEGEND didn't make much of an impact in his 3 outings last year, but he appeals as the type that his trainer does so well with now handicapping up in trip. The son of Camelot can leave his previous form behind to get off the mark, with Damascus Steel the main danger on his second start in a handicap. Book of Tales is the pick of the remainder.
