Verdict

MEECHLANDS MAGIC showed improved form on his second start over fences when getting off the mark at Worcester in October, but didn't get a chance to build on that effort when unseating early next time. He is taken to resume winning ways, though Getthepot took a step back in the right direction last time and is feared most, with Time To Bite and My Bad Lucy also considered.
