      Verdict

      Any of the top four could oblige but MAGICAL SPEEDFIT is the most solid option, albeit more exposed than his rivals. Five of his six career successes have come here and Tom Queally will surely seek to deliver him late, even though he's looked more effective over 6f than five lately. Clear Ice went close on his first run for Gay Kelleway when inched out by Liberty Ship and has strong claims on that form, although he's yet to score away from Southwell. Highland Harvest sprang a big surprise at Lingfield last time and this will show if that was a one-off or if he's suddenly found a new lease of life. Safari Mischief hasn't scored since 2008 but didn't do badly returning from an absence last time and has claims if not 'bouncing.'
