        Verdict

        Chelmsford winner Mindthegap is penalised on his reappearance while Lunar Landscape and Merlin The Wizard drop back down in trip with the latter preferred. Magic Memories is upped from 6f but OLIVER SHOW finished fourth over today’s trip in a decent novices race at Newbury last month and gets the vote. Botanical is the first foal of a Listed winner and makes more appeal than stablemate Akkadian Thunder and Endless Power of the newcomers.
