In depth

Verdict

J P McManus has five entries with Mark Walsh on board MAGIC TRICKS, who had Ruaille Buaille almost 2 lengths behind when runner-up in a Fairyhouse Grade A on his handicap debut earlier this month. The latter is slightly better off and may prove best of Willie Mullins' seven entries though Denise Foster's charge can go one better. The Mouse Doctor has been in excellent form over timber and at Dundalk and is still looking on a fair mark while Midnight Run has Jordan Gainford's claim as a bonus and reverts to hurdles after a spell over fences. Wonder Laish has some excellent form in these kind of handicaps while Champagne Gold would have a chance second to none on his second in the Ladbroke at Leopardstown though didn't perform well at Cheltenham. Exit Poll hasn't done as well as expected over fences but had the very smart Jon Snow, now rated 146, behind when landing a Fairyhouse maiden the last time he ran over timber so looks very well treated.
