Magic Magnolia is still seeking a first victory on her 12th start over timber. She has met decent opposition on the whole but didn't appear to stay 2m4f at Market Rasen last time when positively ridden and this may also be too far for Bridget Andrews' mount. KAYF WILLOW had to be kept up to her work to beat the four-year-olds Keep To The Beat and My Escapade on her hurdling debut at Wetherby but she'll have learned from that and can defy her penalty. Potters Midnight won a bumper at Southwell last month but none of the others have shown much so far.
