Verdict

PREMIER MAGIC easily accounted for Wishing And Hoping in a point last time and is fancied to make a winning Rules debut for a stable that had a winner at Catterick earlier in the week. No Limitations, another multiple winner between the flags, could lay down a strong challenge, while I'm Wiser Now can't be dismissed given his fair hurdling form.

  1. PREMIER MAGIC (IRE)
