Verdict
Magic Gem completed a double in classified company on his debut for a new yard and can figure again while Shorts On won at Yarmouth before well beaten at the same track. Tathmeen placed over the minimum trip here a fortnight ago but HEZAHUNK (NAP) ran his best race since joining Mick Appleby’s yard when beaten a length at Chelmsford and looks set to open his account. Bluebells Boy and Kodi Noir have both slipped down the weights and could go well.
