In depth
Verdict
Not the type of race to get stuck into and the TEAMtalk selection here is Mark Brisbourne's Prime Attraction who had the best bumper form of these last season and put in a pleasing effort in a novice hurdle at Hexham recently. If she has learnt from that experience she has an excellent chance. The trainer of Street Magic is in excellent form at present and this mare had decent bumper form last season before being popped over hurdles at the backend. She will have benefited from that and could start the season well. Johnsons Point was a fair middle distance performer on the level and any market support would be significant though the stable is in woeful form at present.
