Verdict

A rejuvenated MUKHA MAGIC has already won four times this year and an apprentice’s allowance negates a 5lb rise for his latest success at Nottingham. Planet Legend has been thereabouts over shorter trips while King Francis drops back down in distance with Ryan Moore doing the steering. Baileys Derbyday is another dropping down from 2m but Oriental Art looks no nearer winning off his current mark.
