MAGIC OF THE SEA ran her best race this year when runner-up to Storm Tide over C&D last month and Marco Botti's filly looks set to strike. She's just preferred to Old English, who was a disappointing favourite dropped back to 6f at Dundalk last time after scoring over today's trip at Lingfield. Seeking Magic scored on his debut here beating subsequent winner Take Your Partner and he could figure on his return to action, but it was only a claimer that Endaxi Mana Mou won at Southwell in November and she's been well beaten since.
