In depth

Verdict

DREAM MAGIC (NAP) has been in good form over the winter and won twice over track and trip before caught at the line by the progressive King Kevin back here last time. Another bold bid is expected today while there is little between Cape Banjo and Tidal Watch on latest running with the former coming out best by only a neck over course and distance three weeks ago. Star Ascending had looked in the handicapper's grip before winning again at Southwell recently with Luv U Whatever well beaten but Newcastle third Hussar Ballad is upped in class.
