Irish raider Instigator produced his best run on fast ground and may find this too soft while Soul Angel ran poorly here last month after showing promise at Hexham and Newcastle. Seek The Truth has dropped alarmingly in the weights after a run of poor efforts and is probably better over further. Coldwells ran a shocker here at the end of January though he's better than that but this can go to SOUL MAGIC, who has had only two starts over fences and arrives here on an interesting handicap mark after a decent effort over hurdles last month.
