Successful on his return at Goodwood, MAGHLAAK wasn't seen to best effect when down the field in the Zetland Gold Cup 12 days ago and, unexposed at this trip with blinkers now enlisted, it would come as no surprise to see Charlie HIlls's 5-y-o have more to offer yet. Iron Lion wasn't seen to best effect at Newmarket latest and he's danger, with Knightswood and Divina Grace others to consider.
