LEGENDS OF WAR was an expensive purchase at the sales last month and he can make a winning debut for John Gosden in the opening contest. The unraced Leading Spirit is bred to be a sprinter and he is taken to claim the runner-up spot ahead of San Donato who is another to represent a leading stable here.
