Not many of these are noted for their consistency so the burden of top weight may not be an insurmountable barrier for Bay Magic to overcome in this company. He is selected on the grounds of value to outgun Trooper, Whitley Grange Boy and Tirley Gale at the finish. The selection is rated a better chaser than he is a hurdler and will not find a weaker opportunity to stamp his authority in handicap-company. The veteran Tirley Gale, who showed that he is no back number yet on his last outing, may give the top weight the most to do.
