MAGICAL KING should relish this test of stamina, having finished second over C&D in similar conditions earlier this month. He appeals most ahead of Wonderful Eagle who has placed in some good Cheltenham handicaps this season, while Gamesters Guy could be open to more improvement stepping up in trip on handicap debut.
