In depth
Verdict
SEASIDE LEGEND is out of a sire that has a fair record with his bumper runners and the Paul Nicholls team are in cracking form at present. Magic Seven has already had the benefit of a raceday and that experience at Warwick won’t have been lost upon him. Cumhacht shaped well on debut at Thurles for John Kiely but ran too badly to be true on a first appearance for Rebecca Curtis. Galaxy Moon will probably find this trip on the sharp side while Mister Barclay is of a likeable pedigree and should be noted closely in the market.
