Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: T E Whelan| T: A West

33/1

Successful only start on Flat in France (at 17f) but offered little in trio of starts over hurdles for Gary Moore this winter. Tough to assess on that basis now returning to the level for new yard. Tongue tie refitted.

Forecasts

Popcorn Magic (2/5), Birthday Angel (5/2), Running The Game (9/1), Reason To Pass (14/1), River Chat (16/1), Stenatee (33/1), Green Go (150/1), Spun Silver (150/1), Amico Amore (250/1)

POPCORN MAGIC overcame a wide draw/signs of greenness and marked himself down as a useful prospect when landing a 12-runner Lingfield novice on debut 53 days ago. With progress anticipated, he can follow-up under a penalty. Birthday Angel and Running The Game following a spell over hurdles may emerge as the lead dangers.
