Golden Parade has placed in both subsequent starts since completing a double in July and looks high enough in the weights, as does Magical Effect, who is fitted with headgear for this. Buccaneers Vault won a novices' race at Thirsk recently but had earlier finished well behind GULLANE ONE when the latter made all to win at Ripon. Tim Easterby’s charge drops down a grade today and another bold bid is expected. Mutabaahy was beaten by the selection at Thirsk earlier in the year and Mr Wagyu looks no nearer ending a long losing run.
