This looks best left to STOWAWAY MAGIC on what could be a very good day for trainer Nicky Henderson. Despite having a penalty to shoulder for his success at Warwick, he's already rated 125 and is entitled to have come on physically for his return at Plumpton last month. Both American Gigolo and Boudry have ability but need to improve over hurdles on the limited evidence that we've got to date, whilst Majestic Touch could do better for a switch to a higher profile yard. 1.
