Verdict
Mass Media has raced in slightly better contests, the last two at Newmarket, and is likely to be a short price to make it fourth-time lucky. However, he won't be much value and MAGIC TWIST can improve past him. Mark Johnston's filly started favourite on her debut at Ayr but took a fierce tug going down to the start and then ran green. She looks certain to do better while the once-raced trio of Bodyline, Glorious Zoff and Wild Hero are all entitled to come on for their debuts. Inca Man only cost €3,000 but is a half-brother to a winning two-year-old over this trip.
