In depth
Verdict
This is little better than a seller which can go the way of Pheckless, who turned in a sound effort in a better race than this last time at Epsom. There are plenty of dangers including the well drawn, long standing maiden Pas De Surprise. He has several decent efforts to his name and would not be winning out of turn. Hill Magic goes well here and it is interesting that he is tried in a visor, while others to consider include Marengo and Genial Genie.
