In depth
Verdict
Josr's Magic looks the most likely winner of this handicap; the list of dangers is headed by Dream of Fortune and Art Market. This 4-year-old from the Hugh Collingridge yard won well when last seen at Wolverhampton and the manner of that success marked him down as one to stay on the right side of. His chief danger today could be Dream Of Fortune who travelled like the winner at Lingfield last time before fading in a race won by Trifti. That was only his second run of the season so he could have just lacked a bit of race fitness and it will be interesting to see how he gets on here. Art Market was a little disappointing here last time so he will need to step-up on that if he is to get competitive. The Flying Cowboy should come on for his recent outing and he is another worth considering at a price. However, for the winner we will stick with Josr's Magic.
