      Verdict

      Nothing is confidently ruled out but MAGICAL SPIRIT seems sure to be in the mix and gets the vote. With only half a dozen runs to his name, he should have more to offer and a rise of 7lb for an efficient Ripon success seems fair. Trip and ground are fine. Tenax and Pendleton have the ability to play a prominent role and are preferred in that order but Kapono may prove the leading threat. He looks improved since joining his new yard, notably when impressing on the all-weather at Newcastle two starts back. Not so good the last day, the return to 6f should see him in a better light and he's respected. Manana Chica can be considered too if forgiven a latest poor effort.
