HOLIDAY MAGIC is worth sticking with in this. He landed a hat-trick with victory over course and distance three weeks ago and there looks more to come from him. Cool Bahamian was narrowly beaten at Wolverhampton last time having won here earlier and Stonefield Flyer remains on a winning mark despite a 3lb rise for his recent win over track and trip. Ertikaan is another recent winner but is upped in class after scoring over a longer trip at this venue last month.
