In depth
Verdict
Marias Magic,Neckar Valley and Charlotte Vale look the three to concentrate on in this handicap with the confident vote given to Marias Magic. The selection was a good second behind Mith Hill last time out. That form has since been franked and with this longer trip sure to suit she will be hard to beat. Neckar Valley rates the main danger on his latest second behind Bobby Charles and is another that should benefit from this longer trip but his best form is with more cut in the ground so he is passed over on this occasion. Charlotte Vale is another that could go well on his best form but he has yet to prove he stays this far and may just need the run after a 201 day absence. Of the remainder Kid'z'play could go well if allowed an easy lead but for the winner we return to Marias Magic.
