Verdict
Joe Bradnam got a good tune out of SPACEAGE LOVE SONG here last week and the way Michael Bell's gelding saw out that race, he should relish the extra couple of furlongs and can defy his penalty. Being held up over a mile and a quarter didn't suit Knight Of Magic at Lingfield, but he stuck his neck out to prevail over 1m4f here before that and is a danger on that evidence. Black Smoke won a division of this 12 months ago and runs off 5lb lower following some ordinary efforts.
Expert View Verdict
SPACEAGE LOVE SONG gave his best performance since 2024 when winning a classified event over 12f here last week and he appeals plenty under a penalty back in a handicap, with the step up in trip offering potential for further progress. Knight Of Magic was unsuited by the drop to 10f at Lingfield last time and he'd earlier been in winning form over 12f. He's often shaped as though this trip would suit and he rates the danger. Annandale is on a competitive mark these days and the step back up in trip is very much in his favour.
