Verdict

Call The Cops was caught right on the line by Fayette County at Chepstow and will be fancied to go one better here. But this will be his first try on a faster surface whereas MAGIC MONEY is proven on the ground and at this track. She won comfortably over course and distance last time and can be excused her only bad run over a trip too far at Taunton. Russborough wasn't disgraced on his first start for Venetia Williams at Carlisle but Always Archie took a backward step at Ffos Las.
