Magic Shuffle scored over track and trip last week and remains on a winning mark despite a 5lb penalty. Winning hurdler Competition opened his account on the Flat with a victory over a longer trip here and can go well again but it could pay to stick with SONGKRAN. The latter took advantage of a tumble down the weights to score at Yarmouth on his second outing after being gelded and there should be more to come from him at this level. Mystic Dragon was beaten only a length over track and trip last time and makes more appeal than Amor Fati and Cuttin' Edge, who both step up in distance.
