Bix showed improved form when sent to race on Fibresand at Southwell and must go close if transferring that progress to Polytrack, especially with his young rider's claim a real bonus. Magic Channel landed a nursery over 7f at Newmarket but didn't make the expected progress on his next start at Newbury. New Falcon has improved with each run and stepping up to a mile will be in his favour as it will be for MOWHOOB. John Gosden's Medicean colt showed good pace for a long way over 7f here when last seen in June and with the longer trip and nice break in his favour he looks the one to beat.
