SHEELBEWHATSHEELBE ran really well at Uttoxeter last month and that not the first time she has been noted making late progress over 2m4f. This step up could well yield the improvement needed to get off the mark. Midnight Magic showed himself in a far better light last time when upped to 3m and he looks sure to win races over this sort of trip. Also worth considering is Cheque En Blanc who has shown signs of a revival since switched to Gary Moore.
