Verdict

TOPWARRIOR looks to have plenty in his favour following a near miss at Hamilton last time. He may gain compensation at the expense of Alpha Magic, who caught the eye in defeat at Pontefract last time, while Parisiac is likely to be knocking on the door again. Bronze Cup winner Eye Of Dubai isn't taken lightly back under these conditions, either.

  1. TOPWARRIOR
