Verdict

Bowdler's Magic is penalised for winning at Fakenham last month but scored by eight lengths and should go well again. But BOLLIN ACE can make the most of the weight concession having found only Royal Vacation too good over track and trip last month and Tim Easterby's charge gets the nod to come out best. Along Came Theo and Agentleman have been placed in bumpers and go hurdling for the first time along with Lacerta, a winner over 1m4f on the Flat.
