Magic Show goes from strength to strength and is selected here ahead of Chia and Baan. The selection is chasing a hat-trick of victories following wins at Lingfield and Yarmouth. The last success was gained in great style suggesting there is plenty more to come. Chia and Baan are both consistent types. The former hasn't been out of the first four in her last five races and ran well off a higher mark on the all-weather at Wolverhampton last time out. There is know doubt she will be in the shake up again and looks a real danger. Mark Johnston is knocking in winners all over the place and so Baan, a recent fourth in a good race at Haydock, has to be respected. Phone Call would be interesting if attracting any support, but it is hard to get away from the in form Magic Show and he gets our vote.
