Verdict

ESCAPE MAGIC showed much-improved form when making a successful handicap debut at Leicester on her return, impressing with how she saw her race out, and she looks to leading claims now that she's up and running. The chief threat could come from Musical Soldier who is worth another chance back at 7f.

5	No better than mid-division in a trio of starts late last year, but after 6 months off she proved a different proposition making handicap/turf debut when winning 9-runner contest at Leicester in May. The one to beat with further improvement to come. 1st Pick 5 Escape Magic Jockey: Callum Rodriguez Trainer: Owen Burrows J: Callum Rodriguez T: Owen Burrows	100	-	-	-	63%

4	Made all over 7f at Wolverhampton in May. Beaten favourite next 2 outings but runner-up effort back at that venue last month was a sound one. Failed to get home over 1m at Bath last time, so no surprise to see a better showing returned to shorter. 2nd Pick 4 Musical Soldier (Ire) Jockey: Charles Bishop Trainer: Ollie Sangster J: Charles Bishop T: Ollie Sangster	99	-	-	-	15%

3	Dual 6f winner on the all-weather who returned to form with a couple of in-frame efforts at Bath in May/June. Well supported but ran one of lesser races here (6f) 11 days ago, so needs to bounce back returned to 7f, though she is on a handy mark. 3rd Pick 3 Luna Beaux (Ire) Jockey: Finley Marsh Trainer: Adrian Wintle J: Finley Marsh T: Adrian Wintle	95	-	-	-	20%
