Verdict

Magic Amour should take the world of beating in this seller and he is preferred to Prince of Gold and Bathwick Emma. The selection won well last time and he is always very competitive at this level. He has the plum draw and should take plenty of pegging back today. Prince Of Gold won well when beating Rafferty here last time but that was one of his going days and as that was his first win since the end of 2005 he is not one to place maximum faith in. Bathwick Emma was a fair fourth behind Climate in a seller last time but that was over a longer trip and over this distance she is probably worth taking on. Shrine Mountain disappointed here last time after a tardy start and he may be capable of better today, while Spy Gun has a decent draw and should be knocking on the door for a place. However, we will stick with Magic Amour as our confident choice to lead them home.
