DANDY MAG landed a Gowran maiden in February after which he's been racing at a very high level. His narrow defeat in a Fairyhouse Grade 2 last month is the stand-out form here and he was by no means disgraced in the Champion Four Year Old Hurdle behind stable companion Bapaume at Punchestown. Vanishing Point is improving but had to battle to land a Clonmel maiden while From Eden was suited by very testing ground when scrambling home at Fairyhouse and could do with some rain. Zig Zag recaptured his form on that latter track earlier this month though appeared to be suited by stepping up in trip.
