Verdict

Dmitri heads the weights here in what looks to be a tricky race but while he has been successful at the gaff tracks, this is very much a step up in class. Mick Channon has two runners here. Just Say Yes looks to be the pick but he will have to improve in order to reverse form with Lady McNair. Head of College caught the eye when staying on last time out. She clearly needs a trip and today may well be the day. I'm Magic finished second to the regarded St Louis Rey on his debut and is probably the better of the two Hannon runners.
