MAGICAL ANNIE should have more to come on the back of her Wetherby success and is preferred to Paula Smith's French recruit Assorda.

Ended her time in France with Gabriel Leenders with a 19f Pau claiming win in January. Should be very competitive if showing up here in similar form.

Verdict
Bumper winner who struck at the second time of asking over hurdles for Fergal O'Brien when seeing off 7 rivals in a 2m Wetherby novice on soft last month. Should have more to offer and can defy a penalty.

Won a Flat maiden on heavy ground for Peter Chapple-Hyam in 2023 but missed 2024 and sold for only 2,000 gns ahead of this hurdle debut. Probably best watched.
