MAGNA CARTOR could only finish third at Uttoxeter after scoring at Southwell. But the two who finished ahead of him that day went into that race with unbeaten records so it was probably a decent effort and he's more streetwise than Alyasan, who probably didn't beat much over course and distance in June. Mollylikestoboogie and Good Rhythm are likely to need more time but Miliair is Flat-bred so could enjoy herself around here.
