In depth

Verdict

It was soft going when Aqwaam finished second over a longer trip at Doncaster last month while Golden Melody went close at Ripon only to disappoint at Beverley last time, albeit in a higher grade than this. Tarbaan also drops down in class and Sea Grey placed here back in April but MAGICAL MILE was struck into at Lingfield a fortnight ago and gets another chance on an earlier second at Sandown.
