Verdict
A KING OF MAGIC showed promise in a Kempton bumper earlier in the year and is taken to build on that having joined Paul Nicholls since. Hopeless Dancer has placed twice in similar company this autumn and should figure again, while Old Habits and Big John Ollie are bumper newcomers to monitor in the betting for leading trainers.
