In depth
Verdict
Magical Day put up a decent effort last time out at Leicester having previously finished second over this course and distance last month. An improving sort, he looks to have found his ideal opportunity in this weak race. Think Again had been an improving sort before disappointing last time out. If he is back on track he has a chance here. For value TEAMtalk opt for Mon Performer who meets Magical Day on better terms than their meeting last month and is open to improvement. The ground should suit and a good conditional takes off a few handy pounds.
