Verdict
Luke Morris gets on well with KNIGHT OF MAGIC and the jockey booking swings the vote in favour of the James Owen-trained gelding. Having been in the saddle for recent classified stakes wins at Southwell and Wolverhampton, Morris' experienced coaxing can ensure this keen-going six-year-old again holds enough in reserve to be strong at the finish. Al Shabab is an old rival with solid claims on these terms, while Danehill Star and Pure Theory shouldn't be underestimated.
Expert View Verdict
Knight Of Magic has won two of his last three and is only up 1lb after scoring in a classified event most recently. The drop in trip from 12f could present as the issue, with him disappointing over it two starts back, and AL SHABAB is preferred. He scored over C&D in September and his recent return to form at Wolverhampton, when finishing runner-up in a classified, is a positive sign with today in mind. Summer Evening is next best, having shown much-improved form when runner-up at 100-1 in first-time cheekpieces over 8f here last time.
