Verdict

MAGIC OF THE SEA won a nursery over today's trip at Wolverhampton in November and has her first start since. Marco Botti's charge won with a bit in hand on that occasion and can defy an 8lb rise in the handicap. Roman Strait showed a big improvement over C&D last month to get off the mark and another bold bid looks on the cards. He can confirm that form with third-placed Loves Theme here, but Cheylesmore needs to translate his recent improved efforts at Southwell back to the Polytrack if he's to figure.
