MAGNITUDE won a Leicester handicap last May off today's mark and hinted at a revival at Southwell last time. Already a winner on Polytrack, Brian Baugh's gelding has the talented Serena Brotherton on board again and should take all the beating. Carlton Scroop is a C&D winner and was runner-up on the Fibresand earlier this month. The top weight must also be thereabouts in such a weak opener, while Carr Hall and My Mate Mal have the past form to figure.
