The proven stayer MIGHTY AND MAGIC made eye-catching late headway in a stronger line-up over shorter recently and that formline should be monitored by the progress of Finchatton and Come The Day in race 4 on today's card. The Tarry inmate will certainly enjoy the extra ground and should be highly competitive. BRAND NEW CADILLAC has solid credentials but he returns from a 16 week absence and his fitness will be severely tested. That clearly isn't an issue for the veteran gelding ILITSHE who has coped well with shorter trips in recent starts and he finished just over one length adrift of the top rating recently. He is 1kg better off with that rival. HIGHLANDER could be a serious contender back in this suitable handicap after his most creditable last performance over today's distance.
