Katherine Place arrives in good form having won two of her last outings and looks sure to be in the mix again raised only 3lb for her latest success at Wolverhampton. Terri Rules finished in front of Fareeq when third over 6f here recently but ROUNDABOUT MAGIC is preferred. It was a tougher sprint at Chelmsford when the latter finished runner-up, ahead of Nautical Haven, and Simon Dow’s charge is taken to go one better and end a long losing run.
