Plenty with chances here including Magical Memoir, who should be at her peak following two recent runs and was in excellent form last autumn. Scottish Boogie landed a touch when beating City Line at Killarney and though there shouldn't be much in it here the winner is taken to confirm the form as the runner-up didn't appear the easiest of rides. PRIORS GOLD is another with his own ideas about the game but he's certainly got an engine as he showed when accounting for a decent field of maidens at KIlbeggan. He acts on any ground and with that success under his belt is taken to complete a quick double.
