MYFANWY'S MAGIC shaped as if still in good from when third at Chepstow last month and is put forward as the answer now stepping back up in trip having eased a little further in the weights. Basman Palace seems sure to go well in his follow-up bid if seeing out the still longer trip, with Orchestra likely to find these conditions more suitable than the heavy ground he encountered on his previous start in this sphere.
