Verdict
Magika is upped in class off a higher mark having scored in soft ground at Windsor in October. Knockgraffon Lad also won a lower grade contest when successful here last month but was beaten off today's mark subsequently. ALL THE WINDS failed to last home over 2m on his latest start but had won over track and trip before that and Shaun Lycett's charge makes more appeal than Next Edition. The latter has claims on his best form but was tailed off here on his latest start. Mica Mika is another with a shout if at his best but Back Burner steps up in trip on his first start for a new yard.
