MUKHA MAGIC has improved for both the fitting of eye shields and racing on this surface. He bids for a course and distance hat-trick having shrugged off a penalty to land the odds by a wide margin last week and can do the same again. Cold Harbour is usually thereabouts on the Fibresand and went close here last time but J Gaye still finished a long way behind the winner when second at the track earlier. Contingency Fee has plenty to find with the likely favourite so Glutnforpunishment may prove best of the rest now back on a winning mark.
