Magic Mirror has been raised 4lb for scoring over 1m4f here last month while Unit of Assessment won twice over shorter trips at this time last year, though is reunited with winning partner Adam Kirby for this. Rainbow Jazz is usually thereabouts at this level and Distingo has won on the all-weather in France and has been hurdling since joining Gary Moore’s yard. BEAUTY SALON (NAP) looks sure to be winning soon on the evidence of recent form. Narrowly beaten the last twice, including a handicap at Lingfield, James Fanshawe’s filly is taken to go one better today.
