Verdict
SCARLET LEGEND shaped with plenty of promise when hitting the woodwork on his introduction at Salisbury and is likely to have lots of improvement in him. Provided Andrew Balding's colt goes the right way after that display, he will prove hard to beat. Moonrunner finished third at Southwell and should appreciate this slight rise in distance. Outback Legend and Yafreh also have to come into consideration.
Expert View Verdict
SCARLET LEGEND was only narrowly denied by a more experienced rival on debut and represents a yard where horses tend to improve significantly on their second start. He can defeat Outback Legend who probably sets the standard on form following his midfield effort at Chester and should appreciate this longer trip. The John Gosden yard has enjoyed plenty of success with close relatives of Humphrey so he could be a big player on debut as well.
