A couple of these stand out including Art Power. The latter returned a wide-margin winner at York in October and the form looks solid with both placed horses subsequently winning but MAGICAL JOURNEY is just preferred. James Tate’s filly made a winning start on fast ground before finishing runner-up in a Listed contest in soft going at Newmarket at the end of last season and should be bang there at the finish. Twist Of Hay has plenty of improving to do to figure with Electric Mistress, Continental and Manumission newcomers to keep an eye on.
