Dragon City has won on the Flat but that was back in 2013. Winning pointer DUSK TILL DAWN was just denied in a bumper at Worcester in July. David Pipe has wasted no time putting him over hurdles and, with the extra half-mile in his favour, he looks the one to beat, though newcomers A Little Magic and Seeanythingyoulike will be worth a market check. Deadly Move is unlikely to fail through lack of fitness and looks best of the rest.
