In depth
Verdict
DREAM MAGIC has been well beaten at Southwell either side of scoring over track and trip by eight lengths. He gets a speculative vote back at this venue given the remainder are as inconsistent as the selection. That includes Captain Swift, tailed off here last time having won over 1m6f at the track before that. Akkadian Empire found improved form from somewhere when second at Southwell recently while Frozon won twice at the track last year but was well beaten in a handicap last month.
