Majik, Magic Amour and Aswan look the three to concentrate on in this seller and the vote is given to Magic Amour. The selection hails from a yard that do well here and he has been running consistently well of late in better company than this. He is proven on this surface and he should take plenty of beating. Majik was a little disappointing last time over this course and distance but he is another that is eased in grade and he should go close. Aswan was a good second behind Vancouver Gold at Wolverhampton last time but that was over 7f and this drop in trip is not sure to suit. The booking of Robert Winston for Patternmaker catches the eye and he is another to consider, but for the winner we will return to Magic Amour.
