MAGICAL SPIRIT is having his first run on the surface but has been gelded since winning the last of three runs at Beverley last year and looks a useful type for handicaps this season. Primeiro Boy also ended last season with a victory, at Musselburgh, but is a little more exposed. Klopp won over 5f here in January but has been beaten three times over 6f since off a higher mark. Tie A Yellowribbon placed three times last season, including once on Tapeta, so should go well with Master Matt possibly the pick of the remainder.
