We said3rd of 15, beaten 1¼ at 14/1
MAGIC DAY 12/1
MAGIC DAY at 12/1, Ian Patrick Donoghue with Caragh Monaghan taking off 4lb, is the one I keep coming back to. He went close off this sort of rating, beaten 1.75L off 108 on 17 March 2025 and wears headgear for the first time.
MOONLIGHT PARADISE rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won last time off 93 and runs off 98 — up 5lb.
The dangers are LATOPIX at 11/1 (in first-time headgear) and COSTANUCI at 8/1.
