Sophie Leech runs three in this but none of her trio make much appeal. Celestial Magic is getting closer, however, and should be thereabouts again. Drumviredy would have claims on the form she showed before Christmas, though has disappointed in her last two starts. Hill Fort has possibilities but Number One London may need another run to blow away the cobwebs. CATCHIN TIME keeps edging up the weights but Mikey Hamill's claim is a plus in this and Laura Hurley's Exeter second is probably the one to beat.
