Magnet For Money was a winner last time out and is taken to win again at the expense of Castletown Boy and Painted Sky. The selection is trained by Tony Martin who are always feared when travelling over the Irish Sea. He was the winner of a couple of hurdle races last season and was in winning form over the larger obstacles at Killarney last time out. He looks well capable of winning off his current hurdle mark and is therefore one to stay on the right side of. Castletown Boy is now seven pound higher since winning at Cartmel last month. He may well be within the grip of the handicapper now and the fact that Cartmel form often does not travel he is treated with some caution. Painted Sky ran below par on the level last month but is better judged on his win at Wetherby when beating Green Day Packer. His form over hurdles has always been at a consistent level and he can once again give his follows a good run for their money. But for the winner we return to Magnet For Money.
