Formscan - MAIMIE'S MAGIC caused a surprise on her handicap debut at Kelso in December before proving that effort to be no fluke when backing up at Newcastle. A 5lb rise for that most recent success is unlikely to stop her from taking another step forward. Ginger Mail bounced back on his return to 2m when runner-up at Kelso and he has to be respected off the same mark. Traprain Law has been much improved since wind surgery and teaming up with Patrick Wedge, and appears capable of further improvement.
