In depth
Verdict
Golden Dixie overcame inexperience to land a Salisbury maiden on his debut late last month and looks a useful prospect so should go well here while Magic Glade steps up in grade having slammed modest rivals at Wolverhampton last time but neither may be good enough to contain Pic Up Sticks. Mick Channon's charge was a shade disappointing last time but holds solid claims on previous placed efforts in better company at Newmarket and Kempton previously and a reproduction should suffice at this level.
