Verdict
None of these inspire confidence with only a token vote going to WARFARE on his close-up third over course and distance back in January - he can race off a slightly lower mark back in this. Magic City is looking to end a long losing run but was ahead of So It's War when runner-up at Wolverhampton last month while Al Hawraa has gone close in maiden company, though was well beaten on her handicap debut and makes her debut on the all-weather.
