Knight Of Magic^h,t¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Ashley Lewis⁽⁵⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 51| BF| C

6/4

(3)

Spaceage Love Song^v⁸^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Joe Bradnam⁽⁷⁾| T: M L W Bell| OR: 47| C

11/4

4/1, career best when winning 8-runner minor event at this course (12.2f) 8 days ago. More will be needed back in handicap company under a penalty but this trip should be within range and he's impossible to rule out.

Forecasts

Spaceage Love Song (4/5), Knight Of Magic (9/2), Moon Over The Sea (10/1), Annandale (12/1), Lednikov (12/1), Bloodhound (12/1), Nakatomi (16/1), Black Smoke (25/1), Man Of Riddles (33/1), Itsgottobefun (50/1)

The two that appeal most based on recent evidence are KNIGHT OF MAGIC and Spaceage Love Song, who opened his account in a classified event here last week. The latter isn't passed over lightly but Knight of Magic will relish this sizeable step up in trip and he gets the nod. Annandale will have a live each-way chance if going to post for this rather than taking up his engagement here on Monday night.
