Verdict
MAGNETUDE is improving between runs and now goes handicapping for the first time boasting every chance. He's been given time to get over three quick runs in maiden/novice company towards the end of last year and stretching out to 1m4f for this assignment should suit. He can get the better of Five Moons, who is also having her first taste of handicap action, and Magician of Riga.
Expert View Verdict
A few potential improvers here with Magnetude appealing plenty having improved with each of his three outings as a 2yo, keeping on well for third behind a subsequent att Southwell last time. He faded over 10f on his second start but is certainly bred for this sort of trip. It's GAELIC APPROACH who appeals most though, having been gelded since his final outing as a 2yo. He struggled on deep ground then and Billy Loughnane looks a significant booking. Magician Of Riga is in the same ownership as the selection and, alhough he's yet to trouble the judge, he surely has a bigger effort in him. The longer trip looks a plus.
