Dual bumper winner MAGICAL MAGGIE made a successful debut over hurdles with a comfortable victory at Uttoxeter. The runner-up has boosted the form subsequently and Alastair Ralph’s mare can defy a penalty. Jane Du Berlais slipped up behind the selection when still going well and may figure while Manimole placed under considerate handling at Ffos Las on her debut and a hood is applied for this. Bonttay notched a hat-trick of bumpers wins before beaten in Listed company and makes her hurdling bow along with Bombay Sapphire.
