Pundit pick: Little Miss Magic

Little Miss Magic is our selection and the top-rated runner on our figures at 62, having won last time out to end a run of below-par efforts. Secret Handsheikh, who similarly won last time out, and the ever-consistent Beach Partee both sit on 60 and head the opposition, with Darkened Edge, another recent winner, also included among the dangers on 58. Little Miss Magic's higher figure and improved form give her the nod, and confidence in this selection is high.
