Magical Lasso was staying on over an extended 7f at Beverley on debut and is one of only two Kevin Ryan runners to have made the trip down from North Yorkshire today. He'll be a factor if lasting home while Antioco was runner-up over this trip at Chelmsford last time, though is looking a little one-paced. MAWAANY is a half-brother to Irish Derby fourth Kilimanjaro, who won the Derby Trial at Lingfield earlier this year. He might do better next year but this looks a good chance to make a winning start before stepping up in class.
