FIRST LEGION looked a very good prospect when going in at the first time of asking at York earlier in the month and is fancied to take this step up in class in his stride. Karl Burke's stylish Ripon scorer Clear Force appeals as the main danger to Richard Hannon's Mehmas colt, while Eskimo Pie, Sayidah Hard Spun and Kamakameleon all bring a fair bit of potential too and command respect in a good renewal of the National Stakes.
