Magical Journey finished a couple of lengths ahead of favourite Exceptional, who never going the pace, over 6f at Pontefract. She won over 5f as a juvenile so has solid claims today with a high draw probably an advantage. LAST EMPIRE is even closer to the stands’ rail, however, and probably the one to beat on her latest second behind Dakota Gold in the Beverley Bullet. Easy Cork winner Back To Brussels looks the pick of Fozzy Stack’s two runners and Dancin Inthestreet is overdue a win having blown the start at York last month. Star In The Making would have had a cracking chance on her win on similar going last time at Salisbury but there is a danger she may end up isolated from the pace in stall one.
