Verdict

Having recorded back-to-back wins in the spring, MAGIC MIKE's run of good form came to a halt on heavy ground at Uttoxeter last time, but he can leave his latest effort behind returned to less testing conditions. He is taken to get the better of Bahtiyar, who is on a workable mark making his first start for Dan Skelton, while Star Legend also enters calculations.

  1. MAGIC MIKE (IRE)
  2. BAHTIYAR (FR)
