MAGICAL MAN won this last year but is 8lb higher having scored at Towcester two runs ago. He does, however, run his best races here. Tara Mac only ran on Friday at Fakenham and Jonagold has not managed a victory in nine runs under Rules and is in danger of becoming disappointing. Stablemate The Omen could go well off bottom weight as he’s 15lb lower than his last winning mark, though was pulled up in this last year.
