Verdict

Some powerful yards are represented in this 3-y-o handicap and MAGICIAN OF RIGA gets the nod to complete the hat-trick following a 3 lb rise for his latest success. Faeberon should be suited by this trip and can chase the selection home from Windbreaker, who wasn't seen to best effect last time.

1	Won at this course and followed up at Southwell when last seen at April. The latter race hasn't worked out but there may be more to come in hat-trick bid despite the drop back in trip. 1st Pick 1 Magician Of Riga (Ire) Jockey: Joe Leavy Trainer: Richard Hannon J: Joe Leavy T: Richard Hannon	100	-	-	-	15%

6	Showed much improved form when finishing third on handicap debut at Thirsk (1½m, good, 2/1) last month despite racing freely. The drop back in trip should suit and he's a player with the cheekpieces added for the first time. 2nd Pick 6 Faeberon (Ire) Jockey: Jack Mitchell Trainer: Simon & Ed Crisford J: Jack Mitchell T: Simon & Ed Crisford	97	-	-	-	25%

3	Improved on his previous efforts when fourth on handicap debut at Lingfield (1¼m, good, 3/1) 10 days ago though wasn't ideally placed and met some trouble. Switches to the tapeta and there's every reason to think he can get in the mix granted the rub of the green. 3rd Pick 3 Windbreaker Jockey: Cieren Fallon Trainer: William Haggas J: Cieren Fallon T: William Haggas	98	-	-	-	40%
