        Verdict

        Could She Be Magic appears to have a plum draw on the stands side and is taken to score her first win in a fairly weak event, with Wendy's Girl and Ace Coming others who come into the reckoning. Tim Easterby's filly made her debut at this course, finishing tenth of 18 behind the smart Caldy Dancer, and showed she needed at least this trip when third at Southwell on her most recent start. This drop in grade seems sure to suit her, and with Kevin Darley booked, we feel she might just be good enough to land the spoils here. The booking of Kieren Fallon catches the eye for Don Eddy's Ace Coming, who has some reasonable form at this sort of level and was second in a similar race at Newcastle the time before last. Wendy's Girl has had more chances than most of these, but has shown on one or two occasions that she is capable of winning a race such as this, although there is a suspicion that she may be better over the minimum trip. Astaramongstthem showed a bit of promise on his debut at Windsor and could easily improve, while It's An Omen appeals most of the newcomers. However, a high draw is often a help on this sort of ground at Haydock, and coming out of stall 16 Could She Be Magic just gets the vote.
