In depth
Verdict
Shabaaby finished ahead of Sixcor here at the start of the month but reverted to type again at Catterick. Modular Magic missed the break when sent off favourite at Newcastle in January but looks held by Muker on Thirsk running last year. MR BEAUFORT beat a decent sort in Dream Composer at Goodwood last season and has been steadily coming to hand this term so gets a tentative vote.
