A fairly weak event to open the card with and it should present MAGICAL THOMAS with a good chance of following up his win in this last year despite carrying a penalty for his Stratford win in a better race than this. High Wells is interesting if he can repeat his Flat form back over hurdles and if he can he looks well weighted on that while it would be no surprise to see more from the Olly Murphy duo So Sorry Sarah and Ataman this time around.
