In depth
Verdict
This could be a penalty kick for Shouldhavehadthatone with Watch My Back, Magic Blade and King Daniel worth noting. The selection finished second on his debut at Haydock behind Bleak House after running a little green. He is bound to come on for the run and will prove difficult to beat this time. Watch My Back is a nicely bred individual and has to be respected as connections do well in these races. The same can be said for Magic Blade while King Daniel carries a penalty for winning at Hexham last time out. He has run well on both occasions in fact but my have to settle for place money here as Shouldhavehadthatone looks a little special and will be the likely winner.
