None of those with experience have shown much so this can go to a newcomer and MAGNETIC ZERO fits the bill. Sam Curling's charge is a full brother to a winning hurdler and half-brother to another and Derek O'Connor can steer him home. Jamie Codd is booked for Tchoupinminzac, whose dam was a winner on the Flat and over hurdles in France. Shandancer was up with the pace for a long way before weakening at Cork while Modreeney didn't run badly for a 100/1 chance at Galway though Midnight Our Fred stayed on when the penny dropped at Tramore and may prove best of the remainder.
