Verdict

Upped markedly in trip, this could be the time to catch Dan Skelton's SUNRAY SHADOW. Magical King did little wrong behind an unexposed pair at Newbury last time and merits consideration, along with class-dropper Goodwin.

10	Fair bumper/maiden hurdle winner who seems to be building up to something in handicaps, finishing closer than previously when fourth of 13 in first-time cheekpieces at Haydock last time, and could prove a different proposition over this longer trip (plenty of stamina in his pedigree). 1st Pick 10 Sunray Shadow Jockey: Tristan Durrell Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Tristan Durrell T: Dan Skelton	100	-	-	-	17%

2	Has been largely consistent over hurdles (including in better company than this) and after an unsuccessful stint over fences, finished third behind a couple of likeable types at Newbury last time. Should give his running again. 2nd Pick 2 Magical King (Ire) Jockey: Charlie Hammond Trainer: Stuart Edmunds J: Charlie Hammond T: Stuart Edmunds	99	-	-	-	12%

1	Front-runner who landed his second handicap of the season at Plumpton in November. No excuses for disappointing effort at Newbury latest, though back in calmer waters now, and he's worth a go over this longer trip given his style. 3rd Pick 1 Goodwin (Ire) Jockey: Freddie Gordon Trainer: Chris Gordon J: Freddie Gordon T: Chris Gordon	98	-	-	-	8%
