Magna Sam
12/1
IF NOT FOR DYLAN could be difficult to peg back if getting into a rhythm on the front-end, while reliable mare Sainte Doctor is relatively unexposed around 3m and looks a danger. Magna Sam bypassed this year's Edinburgh National but may make more of an impact following another breathing operation.

Race Hints

Specific Pace Hint: A decent pace still shouldn’t detract from the chances of those who race on or near the front end such as If Not For Dylan: Ladronne might not benefit from being ridden as far back as usual for all the gallop is likely to be a reasonable one.
Individual Price Hint: Northern Poet traded at more than 10 times Betfair SP and 2 times Betfair SP when winning on 2 of its last 5 starts: Erne River traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 5 starts.
