Verdict

MAGICAL KING possesses much the best form on show so this reliable sort is taken to gain a deserved breakthrough success back in these calmer waters. Recent Ffos Las scorer Willsburg rates the main threat, with Tommy Time not discounted either if resurgent after breathing surgery.

  1. MAGICAL KING (IRE)
  2. WILLSBURG (IRE)
  3. TOMMY TIME (IRE)
