Calypso Magic looked unlucky on a couple of occasions last season but there have to be questions asked when he continually finds one too good and there is no guarantee the longer trip will suit on his reappearance. DRESSING ROOM, on the other hand, was doing his best work at the finish over 7f at Warwick in September and it would be no surprise if Kieren Fallon tried to make the best use of his proven stamina against these. Market support for newcomer Rainy Champion would be very interesting, however, as he's out of a Listed winner over 1m4f in France and related to several useful types.
