A multiple winner over track and trip, Sir Boss is back on a winning mark and is not easily dismissed. But MAGIKA is worth sticking with as she arrives in better form having scored a shade cosily at Windsor last month. Yul Finegold is not without a chance making her debut on the Polytrack and Mick Duggan has claims on an earlier third at Kempton. Incendo and Singzak are previous course and distance winners but both arrive out of sorts and dual Polytrack winner Waving makes more appeal as he returns to the all-weather.
