Write It Down won well at Perth and Royal Magic returned to his best when successful at Newton Abbot. Do You Know What was only beaten a short-head at Bangor last time but tries a new trip. Miami Present was beaten 10 lengths at Southwell but had a rough passage, though still looks too high in the weights. WAITONIT was a shade keen at Southwell but saw out the trip really well and was always holding the reluctant Jen’s Boy in the closing stages, despite a last-fence blunder. He should be open to further improvement as he gains experience so gets the nod. Picknick Park could figure from further down the weights if fully wound-up.
