Verdict
SPACE LEGEND has a bit to find with a few of these on his return to action but he ended last year with an excellent 1½ lengths fourth of 5 to Los Angeles in the Great Voltigeur Stakes and this low-mileage 4-y-o definitely has the scope to go on this year. The Foxes hit the frame in a Group 1 during the winter so he demands respect at this level, with the likeable Certain Lad very likely to give his running.
