In depth
Verdict
Not a bad contest this one and it should chiefly concern topweight Oso Magic, Celtic Legend and Jericho III, and we take Oso Magic to be good enough. The selection landed a maiden chase over course and distance last time, when forcing tactics paid off. He handles fast ground and looks good enough to shoulder weight in this company, though an improvement in his jumping would give us more confidence. Celtic Legend receives plenty of weight and was the winner of an amateur riders' chase at Musselburgh last time. He would need to improve on that a bit to score, but a repeat effort should be good enough for some prize money. Jericho III has been going consistently well at around two miles, but when tried over further in the past he has not really stayed and the same may well occur here. Lord Of The Land will like trip and ground but is a bit of a one-pacer and we prefer to stick with Oso Magic to follow up his recent win at the track.
