Race preview

MIAMI MAGIC was far from disgraced when stepping up to the top level and taking the silver medal home at Aintree on Boxing Day. The six-year-old has improved with each of his three hurdle starts to date and could take another step forward, which would make him very tough to beat. Tripoli Flyer justified short odds in easy style at Musselburgh at the start of the month and would be foolish to dismiss, despite this representing a considerable step up in grade. Celtic Dino is the pick of the remainder.
