Verdict

MAGIC SEVEN displayed useful form when landing the second of his 3 starts in bumpers at this venue last winter and he could be the way to go now hurdling back from 10 months off. Fellow hurdles debutant Banteer may emerge as the chief threat, with Steel Ally and Gentleman Jacques a couple of others to consider.
