Verdict

Cat Hunter passed the post first but was disqualified for hampering Lastkingofscotland over C&D earlier this month and the latter was awarded the race. There is nothing between them here on that running, though the former has since made amends with a subsequent victory. Rubenstar and The Happy Hammer both won over C&D earlier this month and are closely matched on collateral form but a chance is taken on COULD IT BE MAGIC. His second at Kempton last month is the best piece of recent form on offer and a repeat effort would be good enough to take this.
