        Verdict

        If his last run can be ignored this looks like a good chance for Pip's Magic to get his head in front ahead of Parker and Smirfy's Party. The selection ran well over course and distance on his penultimate start to be beaten only narrowly into fourth place. A reproduction of that run should be good enough to land this non-too-competitive classified stakes where there only appears to be a couple of dangers. Smirfy's Party has arguably got the best form in the race but is held by the selection on their running two weeks ago and there is no logical reason why he should reverse the form off this higher mark. Parker put up his best display of the season last time out at Wolverhampton and would go close if running to that level of form. The suspicion, however, is he is better on an artificial surface and not being totally reliable he is opposable here. Pip's Magic, then, is the call provided he can be forgiven his latest non-effort at Newcastle.
