Verdict
This looks at the mercy of SHANTOU MAGIC if he is fully recovered from breaking a blood vessel at Doncaster. A winner at Market Rasen in November, he has a stack in hand with Askamore Darsi on today's terms and is hard to oppose. Westwire Toby is without a win in 31 starts, has failed to complete his last four outings over timber and now goes chasing for the first time.
