Legislation is sure to be popular with punters here but we prefer the claims of Seasider, who is recommended over Storm Force. The selection created a favourable impression on his debut when scoring a cosy success over Kalligal at Windsor. The stable are in good form at present and with this extra furlong a definite plus he can win again. Legislation was well beaten at York last time but that was in a Group 3 contest and he has obvious claims now that he is eased back down in grade. Storm Force won his maiden in pleasing fashion on his debut at Lingfield and although he has got more on his plate today, he could well be up to the task on his handicap bow. Transfer has a good draw but will need to improve to get competitive. All of which returns us to Seasider who can land the prize.
