Verdict

William Haggas' progressive MAGIC STONE didn't enjoy the rub of the green back from a break when third at Wolverhampton recently and can bag a second success here at the chief expense of Fortification who looks to have more to offer now going into handicaps. Both Guernsey Angel and Baker Blue bring solid credentials to the table too.
