This could prove to be a penalty kick for Savannah Bay with Killone Moonlight and Potts Of Magic the main dangers. The selection was a Group winner on the flat before joining Philip Hobbs and was highly tried over hurdles last season without success.Having said that he was a good second to Chockdee at Cheltenham in the Autumn and a close second at Doncaster on his penultimate start. Connections have dropped him down in grade and surely if reproducing his form and standing up he will win. Killone Moonlight will pose as the biggest danger as his recent consistant performances at Huntingdon where he finished third and his good second at Worcester will stand him in good sted. Pots Of Magic is the other horse to note as again he has been knocking on the door in similar races this season but will have to settle for place prize money only as this looks a race nailed on for the certain favourite Savannah Bay.
