In depth
Verdict
MAGGIE BLUE has been climbing the weights without winning but she is proven over today's distance whereas Market Rasen winner Ten Trees steps up from 2m4f, though does appear to be improving. Gold Chain will also have her stamina to prove but Magic Money has won over 3m and is on a decent enough mark if anywhere near her best. Whatdoesthefoxsay has become disappointing, however, and neither Triumph Davis nor Theatre Act look good enough in this grade.
