Forecasts

Magic Tricks (11/4), Master McShee (10/3), Ganapathi (7/2), Power Of Pause (9/2), Fire Attack (11/2), Echoes In Rain (6/1), Gua Du Large (8/1), Dreal Deal (22/1)

Verdict

Usually an informative Grade 2. MAGIC TRICKS created an excellent impression when quickening clear to make a successful hurdling debut at Navan last month, so he's taken to land this prize for last year's winning owner/trainer combination. Master Mcshee sets the standard on his convincing handicap debut win, while Ganapathi is another open to plenty of improvement for his top yard.
