Verdict

METHODTOTHEMAGIC has been in a good vein of form since returning to hurdles and is selected to land a second win in her last 3 starts. Malago Rose has caught the eye in 2m maiden hurdles here on her last 2 outings and rates a potential improver in handicaps. Last month's Uttoxeter scorer Celestial Park completes the shortlist.
