Magical Wish is probably in the form of his life but has been raised another 2lb so Typhoon Ten may prove the pick of the Hannon duo as he stays this trip even though he’s been running well over 6f lately. Breath Of Air, a winner at Newbury in June, was headed right on the line last time at Haydock and is only a pound higher so has to go on the shortlist but the vote goes to CARDSHARP. A Group 2 and Listed winner in the past, the Johnston five-year-old has slipped to a fair mark and can reverse Goodwood running with Magical Wish on slightly better terms.
