Race preview
Dropping in trip isn't ideal for MAGNIFICO but he was a capable juvenile and was third in the Birdcatcher. Ground-versatile, he won a nursery on good ground in September and ran well when third on heavy ground at Naas in October. Red Lacewing should give his rider a good first ride. She beat today's rival Pearl Palinka last August, is 6lb better off today and ran well when an unlucky in-running fourth in a Listed race on her latest start. Pearl Palinka was a maiden winner on her latest start and should run well on handicap debut. Heart To Heart was sixth in the Birdcatcher and has claims, being experienced. Both Drombeg Banner and Ernest Rutherford's best form is on easy ground while keen-going Anatoli was well held in smart races last September/October. Shoebox King was useful last year and is interesting on handicap debut.
