8/11
Miami Magic has produced a fair level of form over fences this term and he beat the useful Regent’s Stroll in a Class 2 event at Cheltenham last month. Stuart Edmunds’ seven-year-old was third in a Grade 1 last time and should prove hard to beat at this level.

Verdict
All things considered, MIAMI MAGIC ran very well in the Group 1 Scilly Isles. At these weights, Wyenot is the obvious danger.
Miami Magic
Betting Forecast:
4/6 Miami Magic,
3/1 Wyenot,
15/2 That's Nice,
10/1 Elysian Knight,
12/1 Thank You Ma'am
