In depth
Verdict
An open contest to get the card underway. Carols Choice, Just Magical and Geronimo are the only course winners in the race, the last-named a course and distance victor and is now racing for Gay Kelleway, although the better of her two looks to be Direct Reaction, who has been racing in Dubai. Indian Music could run well and the lightly-raced Fizzy Treat should be at home in this company. Blundell Lane, from the in-form Alan Jarvis yard, will be supported as he tries for a quick double.
