Verdict
This is probably a bit more competitive than it first appears. Sulu Magic was a progressive pointer when last in action but might need this. Monty Guiry made a winning start under Rules at Warwick, when Name Of Fame and Head On were behind, but this stiffer test of stamina is sure to suit the Pipe mare MEEP MEEP MAG, who was staying on over 2m4f on her hurdling debut. Taste The Fear, on the other hand, will have stamina to prove.
