    Verdict

    THE MAGIC OF RIO really should be good enough to score here leaving Bold Account and Sally's Dilemma to battle for second spot. Consequence has to enter calculations on debut at this level but The Magic Of Rio sets a fair standard for the Paris House gelding to aim at. As a son of Captain Rio, there's every chance that he will prove to be well suited by racing on this surface and he has 21lbs in hand on official ratings. Bold Account is trying cheekpieces for the first time and he's been struggling to recapture his early season form since returning from injury; he could go well if able to dominate. Sally's Dilemma hasn't scored since taking the Brocklesby on debut but is dropped to this grade for the first time and is relatively fresh as she's having just her third run since May. They have a mountain to climb on the book and it's difficult to see beyond The Magic Of Rio.
