In depth

Verdict

CHILLEDTOTHEBONE won his maiden over C&D in September and will have come on for his recent reappearance at Musselburgh. Kieren Fallon keeps the winning partnership intact and Linda Stubbs' gelding looks the one to beat. Brave Battle can improve on his recent fifth place with an apprentice easing his burden and first-time blinkers applied, while Magic Cross has claims back in this grade after winning a nursery at Wolverhampton in December. Reachtothestars and Magical Star look up against it on today's terms however.
