Few of these arrive in any kind of form but MAGI GAL (NAP) is an exception. A winner at Navan earlier this month, she only just failed to hold off Cache Queen here last week and though 4lb higher can get back on the winning trail. Her stable companion Spanish Dawn is only 2lb higher than when scoring here in December so has to be considered. Solar Heat, who has changed stables, has won three times around here and is fit from hurdling while Lady De Vesci has also won three times around here and was in cracking form at this time a year ago so should get into the frame.
