Verdict
Arlecchino's Arc beat Miss Pollyanna in a classified race over track and trip last time but this is tougher. Glint Of An Eye was placed yet again when second at Leicester recently and will likely be thereabouts in this but ACT OF MAGIC gets the nod. He won at Wolverhampton last month and debuts for a new yard having gone close in a seller at the same track on his latest start. Fair Power slides further down the weights and may prove best of the remainder.
