The Les Bridge-trained Classique Legend missed his first scheduled trial on August 12 which Sunlight won.

With aboard, the Tony McEvoy-trained Sunlight controlled 's 1000m-heat on the course proper with Classique Legend not asked to do too much by Kerrin McEvoy until the final 200m.

He stoked him up and he strode past to trim the margin to 2-1/4 lengths.

Sunlight is a three-time winner at Group One level while the less experienced Classique Legend has won three of his four starts, most recently the Group Two Sprint in April.

Last year's Everest runner-up missed Tuesday's trial and said he would have another on September 10 and would now resume in 11 days later.
