The Magic Blanket is flying at the moment, Fizzlephut will be suited by the return to the minimum but we'll take a chance with DALAROSSIE. As has been the pattern in recent seasons, Eric Alston's team are just hitting their stride and the selection's reappearance suggested that his turn may not be too far away. He started slowly but was noted making good late headway and should be competitive if breaking on terms. The Magic Blanket has twice scored impressively on the all-weather for which he's been raised a total of 16lbs; he's yet to show anything on turf but it would appear that connections have discovered his secret and he rates a leading player. Fizzlephut should make a bold bid to make all from stall one following a respectable effort over six at this track last time whilst Ask Jenny is one to watch although she was behind What Katie Did at Kempton in March. Make My Dream is consistent but probably a shade high in the weights whilst Ten Down is more at home at Lingfield so we'll nominate Dalarossie.
