Magical Quest gets the vote in division two of this maiden hurdle with Beau Nash and Cantabilly rating the main dangers. The selection was still in with a chance when falling behind My Turn Now last time out, this looks easier and he need only run up to that mark to score. Beau Nash rates the main danger as he was a fair sort on the flat and should be noted in the market with his yard in form. Cantabilly is another that could go well on his debut fourth, he looks sure to improve but he looked a short runner on that occasion and is taken on with this in mind. Of the remainder Jazz City is sure to run huis race but he is more exposed than most while Nostringsattached is a well bred type and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Magical Quest.
