Verdict

BLACKJACK MAGIC has shown enough the last twice to think he's still on a good mark if he can eliminate late jumping errors and can lead home an Anthony Honeyball 1-2 ahead of Great Yorkshire runner-up Forward Plan. Ben Pauling has his team in flying form and Bowtogreatness could also have a big say having shaped as if coming to hand when fifth in the traditionally-strong Timeform novice handicap at Cheltenham last month.
