LEGACY POWER's greenness was apparent starting out at Lingfield in February so it was promising that he managed to finish second, and with improvement forthcoming, he rates the percentage call. Sir Michael Stoute saddles a pair of well-bred newcomers in Crystal Mariner and Perfuse and the market may help in establishing a pecking order.
