Maria Magdalena should have learned plenty from her third at Hereford but struggles to get her head in front. PRIME PRETENDER did even better on his first run over fences at Ffos Las nine days ago and will likely be a short price to go one better racing off the same mark. Conceroe was third over 3m here last month and is the only other with chasing experience.
