Verdict

A couple of these stand out with A LITTLE MAGIC making most appeal. Jonjo O’Neill’s charge won in this grade at Catterick to land a double and another bold bid is expected despite a 5lb rise. Mr Medic also has a shout having won easily at Lingfield in November but he’s upped in class off an 11lb higher mark for this. Lou Vert found one too good at Ludlow on his chasing bow and is preferred to the more exposed Helium while Jaboltiski is a decent hurdler at his best but has struggled over fences so far.
