MAGIC MONEY (NAP) looks the one to be on here. Warren Greatrex's eight-year-old might appreciate this slightly shorter trip after finishing second over 3m at Uttoxeter in July. At First Light was only fourth off this mark at Fontwell last week and was pulled up when Popping Along won at Aintree in May. But Jeremy Scott's mare was tailed off on her only subsequent run while Premier Rose has yet to make the frame under Rules. Midnight Sapphire makes more appeal as she won over course and distance in June and is only 2lb higher.
