Aidan O'Brien has won five of the last ten and has three entered in what looks a very sub-standard renewal. Ryan Moore takes the ride on Magic Wand, a €1.4m daughter of Galileo, which is a surprise as her form in two Leopardstown maidens is nowhere near Listed standard. Connections must be expecting her to live up to her pedigree. The jockey was on board Dramatically when she was well beaten in the Nell Gwyn while Forever Together will need to have made major progress over the winter to get into contention. AWARD WINNING put the experience of her Newmarket debut to good use when easily landing a Wetherby novices' event and, as she has plenty of scope, she is given the nod. Kinaesthesia, who scrambled home in a Nottingham maiden in November, will need much more but Gavin Cromwell doesn't waste journeys on no-hopers so Princess Yaiza, who has performed with credit at a similar level in Ireland, is greatly respected. Shaherazada improved with each run last season and has changed stables though winning a Class 4 handicap doesn't look Listed form.
