Race preview
Magical Spirit returned to winning ways over 6f at Ripon last month but he has a 7lb rise to contend with now and may find front-running tactics more difficult to execute at this track. Preference is for PENDLETON, who was turned over in a heavy-ground track-and-trip contest last time and couldn't land a blow from off the pace. Now granted firmer terrain, an improved showing from him would come as no surprise. Kapono didn't appear to handle the track at Catterick on Monday and is better judged on his preceding distance victory at Newcastle, a performance for which he's penalised here.
