MAGIC MIRROR scored over track and trip before going in again over a mile here last time. She’s taken to shrug off a 3lb rise in her current form and land the hat-trick. Loveatfirstsight failed in a bid for a treble when well beaten at Chelmsford last time and is upped further in the weights but Irish challenger Groundfrost can race off a lower mark today. Made Of Honour picked-up a claimer in France in October but Courier is preferred as it’s only a matter of time before she takes advantage of a tumble down the weights.
