Successor has only shown moderate ability so far but he's by Galileo so stepping up to this trip should prove beneficial. His stablemate Immortal Bridge has shown even less though there was a glimmer of ability when he stayed on over 1m1f at Gowran last month. Rabbie The Bard was beaten a long way into third behind The Gurkha at Navan and should do better in quicker conditions but this can go to a newcomer. Twilight Payment is by Teofilo out of a winning miler but it's the filly MAGNOLIA ROSE who gets the verdict as she cost 120,000 euros and is a half-sister to several middle-distance winners.
