    Verdict

    Mukha Magic is a three-times course winner, all over 1m4f, but he stays this trip having been beaten just a neck by First Charge at Kempton last month with today's rival Sophar Sogood close up in third. The winner had earlier finished just over a length behind Beggarman over that same course and distance and the latter followed up with a head verdict over Socially Shady at Chelmsford. Karl Burke's charge was again narrowly beaten over the trip at Wolverhampton but the vote in a tight handicap goes to VICTORIANO. Brian Ellison's charge had a bit to spare when beating Mukha Magic to complete a Newcastle double before just failing on his hat-trick bid at the same venue.
