Verdict
A race that shouldn't take too much winning and it may be that Harriet Graham can get enough out of SOUL MAGIC to score. Like most of these the eight-year-old's career has seen more lows than highs so far, but soft ground suits and the drop to this trip looks a positive, so after two recent runs to put him straight we give him the nod. The Rustlin Rhino enjoys some cut and showed some improvement when stepped up to a similar trip in the spring, so there may well be more to come. Dechiper has done all of his winning at Newcastle but doesn't mind a bit of cut and has to be respected in this lowly company. Springaway has plenty to prove after two-and-a-half years off.
