R ace Summary

MELLOW MAGIC got her season off to prefect start at Windsor earlier in the month and looks to have been found an ideal opportunity to follow up. Andrew Balding's four-year-old was a cosy winner on that occasion and a 4lb rise may not be enough to stop her here. Tralee Hills was over three lengths behind the selection last time and is on 3lb better terms this time. Diamond Cutter is an interesting runner making his seasonal reappearance for a shrewd team Win: Mellow Magic Danger: Tralee Hills
