Verdict
MAGICAL ORLA finished runner-up at Tipperary last autumn and the winner has subsequently won a Listed bumper. She’s taken to make a winning debut for new connections on the strength of that form. Luke San placed at Market Rasen on his debut under Rules while Frankie Moon is fitted with a tongue-tie and Oscars Reign posted a better effort at Newton Abbot last time. Old Duke is related to four winners and is preferred to Cards Are Dealt of the newcomers.
