The Old Soldier is still a maiden but has run creditably over 5f on both starts this term and may well find a little improvement for the extra furlong so is given a tentative each way vote in a tricky heat. Hebenus has been relatively lightly campaigned and should go close if able to reproduce his close second over this trip at Doncaster in July but Halcyon Magic is 8lb higher compared to his winning mark in a moderate Ripon maiden handicap and now looks high enough at the weights judged on his most recent effort over this C&D.
