Verdict

MELLOW MAGIC (NAP) was beaten less than a length in the soft ground over track and trip but is equally effective on this faster surface and can go one better. Land Of Winter won at Nottingham but never threatened in the Chester Cup last time though Dance To Paris finished runner-up in the Chester Plate at the same fixture. Make My Day ran well at Ascot on his return to the Flat while Smart Champion faces a tougher task than when second at Southwell. Zinc White has won his last two starts on the Flat but is 12lb higher on his return.
