Verdict
Amzac Magic won at Wincanton in March and looks progressive while Unblinking is only a pound higher than when landing a gamble at Warwick a year ago under 7lb claimer Jordan Nailor so is definitely one for the shortlist. Caro Des Flos is only 1-17 but has been threatening to win a race for Julian Smith and Pagero still has untapped potential while Pride Of Lecale doesn’t have many miles on the clock. OXWICH BAY’s stamina had given out when he fell at the last at Southwell but he would still have finished well ahead of Ulysses had he stood up and this drop back in trip should be right up his street.
