Magicdollar - 17:40 Newcastle

Flag: Top Rated, Horse In Focus

Magicdollar has shown improved form since entering handicaps and he recorded a career-best effort when opening his account over course and distance three weeks ago. He only won by a neck, but had much more in hand than that margin suggests, travelling well when having no room two furlongs out, as a result being shuffled back in the pack and forced to switch around horses. Magicdollar picked up well, though, quickening to lead inside the final 100 yard to win with a bit up his sleeve. A subsequent 2 lb rise very much underestimates him and he is a strong fancy to follow up.
