Verdict
SHANTOU MAGIC scored over today's trip at Fontwell on his reappearance. That's easily the best form on offer and Charlie Longsdon's charge looks capable of defying a penalty in this. Comeback Colin and Gold Futures share similar profiles. Both were placed in bumpers before producing decent efforts on their hurdling debuts at Southwell and Kelso respectively. A rare winner on the Flat, Theology finished third over hurdles at this track last year, while Lucanor and point-to-point winner Lecale Lad look best of the rest.
