PURPLE MAGIC was very green on her debut at Nottingham but stayed on nicely once getting the hang of the job. She'll have come on enormously for the experience and looks the one to beat. Cape Of Glory was always in the front rank and wasn't beaten far over the track and trip last month while Blacklister has only run here once and was only beaten a short-head by Rateel, who was receiving 2lb. With Pleasure attracted strong support on his debut at Brighton but was much too green to do himself justice and was beaten a long way. La Manga has a nice pedigree for this sort of trip and is one to keep an eye on.
