Verdict
Back-to-back wins at Leicester suggest RATHEALY has found his level and David Pipe’s charge will be short price to complete the hat-trick, despite conceding weight all round. Great Link looks to have little chance of reversing recent form but course and distance winner Bowdler's Magic wouldn’t be far away if anywhere near his best given he was placed in better company at Wetherby last spring.
