Prevailed in good battle at Plumpton three weeks ago and can improve again

Disappointed on latest outing but his hurdle debut at Chepstow in October was promising

Respectable fifth on stable debut, after a long layoff, and still has potential
5	Seaside Legend Bay J:Paul O'Brien T:Harry Derham	J:Paul O'Brien T:Harry Derham	156	—	24-9	-	-	-	75d	—	—	-4	1.6	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Failed to build upon a promising bumper debut for Paul Nicholls; now with Harry Derham

Showed only minor promise when fourth in two Irish points last year; best watched

Fairly fairly encouraging hurdle debut in November but latest run was a backward step

Didn't show enough in her three bumpers last year to warrant serious consideration
