Bowdler's Magic returns to the Flat after a Perth fall last time, prior to which he'd been in fair form on the level at a modest level. He's a player if none the worse for that tumble although his current losing run dates back to 2012. Sail With Sultana produced an improved effort when inching home at Chepstow on a first try at 2m. The ground was soft that day and she's yet to prove herself as effective on the forecast quicker ground. Amir Pasha is worth a look off a lowly weight in view of his yard's form but SALFORD DREAM is the choice. Although a 6-y-o maiden, the Halling gelding has only had 10 career runs on the Flat and has displayed his best form this season. He's every chance if repeating his close second to Politbureau here over 2m on quick ground in April.
