Soul Magic's winning run came to an end at Kelso in October and he hasn't been seen since. He's likely to need this and Emotive and Pagan Lightning are others returning from a break. Original Prankster ran a shocker off his new mark at Leicester, while neither Teenando nor Super Baby are the force of old. Panthers Run beat MAN OF PRINCIPLES over C&D two weeks ago and is better off at the weights today. However, Stuart Coltherd's charge left that form well behind over a longer trip at Hexham last week and could reverse earlier running if in the same mood today.
