In depth

Verdict

Hooflepuff gets a change of headgear having gone close over track and trip last time and should be in the mix once again. But DREAM MAGIC was beaten only a short head in a claimer here when up against higher rated opposition than this and Mark Loughnane’s charge may prove the one to side with. Last Enchantment won a lower grade contest over course and distance recently to end a long losing run while Tan Arabiq went close off a higher mark in better company at the track when last in action though that was back in 2018.
