Fairly useful gelding who was below his best on first crack at sprinting when seventh of 9 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to soft, 10/3) 11 days ago. Return to these forecast quicker conditions ought to see him in a better light and expected to feature from stall 2.

7/1
Consistent rather than progressive, struggling to land a telling blow when fifth of 7 on handicap debut at Lingfield (8f, AW) 9 days ago. Cheekpieces now go on and he ought to be thereabouts.

Unreliable sort. 28/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 35 days ago, merely closing up late. Looks no easy ride but the return to this trip may see him in a better light.

€40,000 yearling, Saxon Warrior gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including smart 7f/1m winner King's Field and useful 1m-1¼m winner Balmoral Castle. Dam, winner up to 6f (2-y-o 5f winner). One to monitor in the market for clues on racecourse bow.

6/4
Lightly-raced maiden who got back on the up with the benefit of a recent run behind him when second of 4 in maiden at Musselburgh (8f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Has plenty in his favour from inside berth and a repeat makes him the one to beat.

Forecasts

Zarathos (5/4), Magic Boy (6/4), Inns Of Fear (7/1), Moon Beginnings (12/1), He's Our Cracker (18/1), Token Love (28/1), Mister Mcgregor (66/1)

Verdict

MAGIC BOY showed the benefit of a recent run and got back on the up when second in a 1m Musselburgh maiden 17 days ago. This drop back in trip will hold no fears and he can take full advantage of his plum rails draw and make it fifth time lucky. Zarathos can fill the forecast spot ahead of Inns of Fear.

  1. Magic Boy6/4
  2. Zarathos5/4
  3. Inns Of Fear7/1
