Any market support for Carry On The Magic would have to be taken very seriously given he was only beaten a length by the useful Killer Clown in his sole start between the flags and his yard won this in 2019. Kilbrook had placed in his first three starts under Rules before running a shocker in a handicap at Wetherby. Neon Moon has had wind surgery since a promising sixth at Chepstow on his hurdles bow but LIGHT N STRIKE offered promise on his own hurdling debut here last month, ahead of Entre Deux, and will know more today with Irish conditional Jack Foley a very interesting jockey booking.
