Verdict

EL CAMPEON has been placed over 2m on a couple of occasions since scoring over course and distance in December. He should be in the mix once again. Paris Magic steps up in trip having won over 1m4f on his penultimate start and may figure while Ride The Lightning also attempts a longer trip off a similar mark as when winning at Wolverhampton last month. Cavalieri needs further but Luv U Whatever drops in class and the unexposed Tetradrachm returns to action for a different trainer having won a maiden at Lingfield last year.
