The old timer Mystic Hill showed there was plenty life left in him when rallying bravely to win a moderate contest at Stratford. Prior to that he hadn't won a race for four years, but this looks an equally moderate contest and off a 7lb higher mark he must have a chance of following up. He may be followed home by Mister Pickwick, who didn't take to fences last time and can race off only a 4lb higher mark than when successful in a non-seller at Fontwell.
