Verdict

This doesn't compare favourably with the first division with Magnum flattered by his handicap mark based on a second at Hexham three runs ago. Demon D'aunou is running for the first time in exactly a year but the French import would not need to be anything special to make a winning start over timber. Quest For Life has been placed in a couple of modest bumpers but WOTABREEZE won three times on the Flat up to 1m4f and may have too much speed for these if his jumping holds up.
