Kings Topic ran on well to score last time but may not find it easy to follow up under his penalty so we'll take a chance with Golden Horus ahead of Josr's Magic. Andy Haynes' campaigner had Josr's Magic, Strike Force and King After behind him at Lingfield and seemed to benefit from the change in tactics that day. It remains to be seen whether they work as well for a second time and he has work to do under his penalty. Josr's Magic wasn't beaten all that far despite meeting trouble in running and is fancied to finish in front of him on this occasion. As far as the winner is concerned though, we're going to put Golden Horus forwards. Improvement is clearly required but he ran a more encouraging race last time when not beaten all that far at Lingfield on grass and may be more at home in handicap company. The booking of a leading apprentice takes the eye and Golden Horus may be able to step up to the plate today.
