In depth

Verdict

OLD MAGIC looks to have the strongest recent form on offer when second at Exeter last time to the progressive Mission Complete. Racing off the same mark today, Sophie Leech's charge is taken to finally get off the mark. Stormion held on by a neck to score at Newcastle when last seen and he can figure once again off a 4lb higher mark, while Dickie Henderhoop has a chance on November's placed effort at Carlisle. Macs Island and Sydney Cove are others with claims on previous form, but both arrive out of sorts and it's hard to make a serious case for any of the remainder.
