SECRET MAGICIAN failed to fire at Galway last time but he appeared to be working his way back to form when sixth of 15 in a stronger handicap than this over C&D on his penultimate start. The 4-y-o has dipped to a career-low mark and is worth chancing in this wide-open contest. Collective Power went close at Naas recently and he is next on the list, though Shoebox King and Ice Cold In Alex also merit respect.
