Full Irish was a bit better last time at Bangor but races from out of the handicap here. Ink Master hasn’t raced since November and could face a battle for the lead if Wells De Lune, engaged yesterday at Plumpton, turns up. Sizing Platinum was in good form around this time last year but has shown nothing in recent starts. MAGIC SAINT was a bit unlucky to come down at Ayr nine days ago. He’s started favourite for the Grand Annual at Cheltenham previously and can return to winning ways in this.
