Handful Of Magic is selected in a tough race with Pedestrian and Noble Dictator respected. The selection does have an appalling draw to work from but she ran creditably behind a track record beating performance last time out and as her breeding suggests that this trip is more suitable, we are prepared to back here again. Pedestrian put up a no show on debut. Put simply, she cannot be as bad as that form suggests. Noble Dictator has proved boisterous in the paddock in the past and any reproduction of that won't help win today or keep his wedding tackle intact! Never Lose is an interesting debutant from the Clive Brittain camp. Calahonda was well backed at Kempton on her latest start but has gone missing for two months since. Omokoroa will find this trip sharp enough. Mistress Mary is the benchmark for the handicapper to base his sums upon. Handful Of Magic has a little to do from a poor draw but the price will be bigger accordingly.
