LEGENDARY DAY looks a shrewd purchase judged on his hurdling debut success at Sedgefield back in November and, with progress anticipated, he gets the nod to defy a penalty and come out on top again. Matchless was too free at Doncaster last time but is a player on his previous efforts. Whitehaven, an interesting recruit from the Flat, is also worth a look.
