Verdict

BOWDLER'S MAGIC scored by nine lengths at Thirsk last week and a penalty is negated by Michael Murphy's claim. He should have no trouble following-up in this company and will start a short-price to do so. Mollyow looks the one most likely to chase him home on last month's Yarmouth win though she's been well beaten off today's mark since. Bugsy's Boy fell over fences on his return from a lengthy lay-off but makes most appeal of the remainder as he scored on the Flat at Goodwood back in 2010.
