        Verdict

        Glentaisie and Opera Comica look the pick of the experienced horses and are certain to play their part, however we will take a chance with Mark Johnston's newcomer Magic Moth. The stable has been doing well with it's few all-weather runners and so this son of Mtoto has to be respected. He is a full brother to Marias Magic who won over this sort of trip and will know doubt be fit and ready for his racecourse debut. Glentaisie showed plenty of promise when second to Spanish Lace in a hot maiden here last month and looks a certainty for a place. Meanwhile Opera Comica can be given a great chance on the pick of her form that has earned her a rating in the seventies. Being There is from a yard in pretty decent form and is another to consider for each-way purposes, but our idea of the winner is Middleham debutante Magic Moth.
