Verdict

JUST LIKE MAGIC was much improved when making a winning handicap debut at Lingfield 5 weeks ago, leaving the impression there's more to come in the process. He can defy a 3 lb rise in the weights and follow up. Desert Champion, who is fitted with a visor for his respective handicap debut,and another last-time-out winner, Commendation, head the dangers.

  1. JUST LIKE MAGIC
  2. DESERT CHAMPION (IRE)
  3. COMMENDATION
