Pundit pick: Magic BoxDiffers from our pick

Magic Box heads our ratings on 80, a clear six pounds better than Piscean Star and Unionville on 74, and that gap looks significant in a Class 5 contest over a mile on the Kempton all-weather. Those two are the obvious dangers, with Bofa Beach a further couple of pounds back on 72 and still capable of getting involved if the pace sets up for him. With a ten-runner field there is traffic to negotiate, but Magic Box has the strongest profile of the group and should prove hard to hold. Magic Box is our selection.
