Lucky Louie finally opened his account with a win at Lingfield in February and Zabdi was also winning for the first time when successful over track and trip. Carcharias won three times on Turf last year but has yet to score on the all-weather so it could pay to stick with MAGIC MIRROR. She landed a course double with last month’s victory over 7f and this return to a longer trip will suit. Cat Royale is back on a winning mark and can figure while Ebbisham is not out of this dropping back down in class.
