Nichols Canyon will be a popular choice stepping up in distance after a third at Sandown on his reappearance. He should go close but MAGICAL KINGDOM is marginally preferred. He could only manage third over today's distance at Kempton on his handicap bow but the modest pace will not have suited and he should prove better than that on his first start on Turf. Autun wears his owners first colours ahead of Incorporate and will likely stay the trip having won his maiden over a mile at Nottingham last season while Prairie Ranger will have come for his return at Haydock and is another to consider on his handicap debut.
