Verdict
Monaadhil won over track and trip in October with Lilandra back in third but is 5lb higher on his return to action. Magicinthemaking had failed to figure since scoring at Kempton in January while Shining Crystal finished ahead of Cappananty Con when going close over 6f at Lingfield earlier. NIVELLE’S MAGIC has more scope than most and back on the Polytrack having been beaten less than a length when fourth at Lingfield on her earlier handicap debut, she gets a speculative vote.
