Once again, few are dismissed here but Inghwung gets our vote with Arctic Magic one that could go well at a bigger price. Due to the presence of a stablemate, the selection has a nice racing weight for this contest and is an improving sort. Her pedigree is all about stamina but she could only muster the one pace when tacking 3 miles here in January. She was duly dropped back in trip at Folkestone and powered away from a well backed favourite to record a convincing success before winning at 1-20 last time. She can make the most of a decent mark. Castlecrossings is another that looks leniently treated and she should be able to confirm December's form with Overbranch whilst the consistent Senora Snoopy may well run into the frame again. Arctic Magic was a long way behind Castlecrossings on her hurdling debut but she has been much improved of late. A close up third to Chantaco and Prince Du Seuil reads well enough as does her second to Warsaw Pact on her handicap bow on her latest start. She should go close from just a 3lb higher mark but we're going to award our vote to Inghwung.
