POUVOIR MAGIQUE makes the trek north from Newmarket but it should prove a worthwhile journey. He was beaten less than a length over today’s trip at Sandown on his debut and the winner has subsequently placed in Listed company. Itsalonglongroad travels over from Ireland but will need to step up on last year’s form and Fire Leopard may prove a bigger threat having placed at Redcar last month. The newcomer Anna's Legacy is bred for middle-distances and preferred to stablemate Hugoigo.
