Verdict

STELLAR MAGIC didn't end last season as one may have hoped but he started it with a good effort off a higher mark than this in a Class 2 handicap at Haydock and he still has time on his side. The 7-y-o gets the nod ahead of Guerlain de Vaux, who is worth another chance for a new yard. Barbados Buck's and Royal Pretender are others to consider.

  1. STELLAR MAGIC (IRE)
