Jatiluwih is slowly slipping down the ratings and Stellar Magic ran well at Uttoxeter last month, despite being easy to back, though looks held by JET OF MAGIC on earlier Sandown form. The latter unseated his rider in the early stages when a hot favourite at Wincanton later but still looks to be on a fair mark. Sayadam could figure if lasting home but doesn’t look an easy ride and there are also slight stamina doubts surrounding Hititi, though Robert Walford’s six-year-old couldn’t be in better form and he holds American Sniper on the book.
