Verdict

SEA LEGEND seems likely to build on his opening effort in this sphere at Sedgefield, especially with this slightly sharper test promising to suit. He gets the nod ahead of Wise Eagle, who should have more to offer making a belated return to hurdling, while Susiesparkle is another who could go well if taking to this new discipline.
