Verdict

None of these convinces as being copper-bottomed, but MAGWADIRI has run well on both starts this season for Jessica Harrington, and looks a shrewd purchase for new connections. He's preferred to Ghayadh, who boasts the best recent form, but is far from consistent, and the unexposed Plunger, who is better than he showed in blinkers (got worked up) at Ascot, and could well do better without the headgear now.
  1. Magwadiri
