MODULAR MAGIC won a shade cosily at Redcar in the autumn and may be capable of defying his penalty with the rail to help. Birdie Bowers ran his best race last season on his debut here in April and would have a chance on that form while Moon Power got upset before the start of a race at Newcastle in March so that run is easily ignored. Tim Easterby runs three but only Silver Sniper has experience and he’ll need to improve on his fourth at Newcastle to figure.
