Ferdy Murphy is a man to follow at the moment and the trainer looks to have found another good opportunity for Bit O Magic who returned to winning ways at Huntingdon at the beginning of this month. The ten-year-old relished the quicker conditions and again could be hard to beat. The obvious danger is No Kidding who although lacking a turn of foot could be just running into form. Just Hoping had shown little before winning at Wetherby last time and being lightly-raced any improvement should see him go close. No Kidding finished behind him on that occasion although mistakes ruined his chance while Jakes Progress was also well beaten and may have to settle for a minor role again.
