    Verdict

    The wonderfully-versatile Magic Of Light is bidding for a hat-trick of victories in the Grade 2 having won a chase at Newbury last month which she also took in 2018 and 2019 but she have met her match this year in the shape of ROKSANA. The Skelton mare won a Grade 2 on her reappearance at Wetherby and was then a close third in the Long Walk Hurdle here behind Paisley Park and Thyme Hill - that’s easily the best recent form on offer. Eglantine Du Seuil is no mug as she showed when second in a competitive handicap at Cheltenham last time and she is also a previous Grade 1 winner.
