Dancing Rave made a successful debut here on good to soft ground and, though not progressing as expected, hasn’t had similar conditions subsequently. But MAGICAL SPIRIT can take this as he's improved since behind in that former race and looks better at this stage than stable companion Power Rush, though the latter is related to a few winners. Haadhir has been up with the pace throughout over 6f and this stiff 5f should help though he’s never raced on ground with give. Melgate Magic was a 150/1 chance at Wolverhampton last time but stayed on strongly and will be suited by this track.
