In depth
Verdict
Richard Hannon again appears to hold the key as he has two runners in this. I'm Magic ran well last time out behind Lady McNair and if he can reproduce that effort he should win. His stable companion Dancing Forest looks the main danger but he was beaten at odds on last time out and needs to improve a few pounds to score. Trouble At Bay ran well on his debut when second behind Bluegrass Beau and he is sure to have benefited for that run and is sure to to take a hand in the finish. Almond Beach has also shown ability and his yard is beginning to hit top form so he is worth noting in the market.
