POUVOIR MAGIQUE is the only one to have placed and connections will feel he was unlucky not to oblige on debut when finishing with a tremendous rattle, beaten under a length in a decent Sandown maiden. That run is head and shoulders above anything achieved by the opposition and this should represent a straightforward task for the Gosden colt before going on to better things. There's no other form of any substance to view but it would be reasonable to expect the likes of Intellect for Sir Michael Stoute, Stormy Blues for Godolphin and Titan for Ed Dunlop to progress from admittedly uninspiring debuts. Airway is a newcomer of interest for the Fanshawe team.
