Verdict

MASTERS LEGACY was 2-3 in novice hurdles last season and shaped with encouragement on the back of 14 months off when fourth in a Taunton handicap last month. He's 2 lb lower now and earns the vote to build on that effort given his low-mileage profile. Scaramanga arrives fresh and is feared most, whilst Sebastopol may well benefit from the drop back to 2m.
