Star Galaxy and Soul Magic are excellent stable servants and remain in useful form. It would not surprise to see either oblige but there are a couple here with greater scope. Sergeant Pink is only a seven-year-old and has been in consistent form this year. He enjoyed a sharpener on the level five days ago when a good second in a Musselburgh amateur riders handicap on the level and has definite claims. However, CLOVERHILL LAD could have greater room for progress after just five starts over the larger obstacles, most recently when readily outpacing Celtic Intrigue to score at Perth. He's a heavy ground winner in Ireland should conditions worsen and is taken to back up that recent Scottish success.
