It would be no surprise if Full finished thereabouts on his first start for David Pipe having been placed in France on several occasions. Celestial Magic won a novices' handicap over track and trip last month but runner-up Wildmoor Boy is weighted to finish closer today and preferred to Catchin Time, upped in class off a higher mark after winning at Plumpton recently. MOUNTAIN OF MOURNE put a couple of poor efforts behind him when runner-up to Cobolobo at Chepstow on his latest start. He may prove good enough in this similar contest, despite a 4lb rise.
