Sizing Malbay won this a year ago but is still 5lb higher despite moderate recent form. MAGIC SEA (NAP) ploughed through the Down Royal mud to land a handicap by 15 lengths in December so with conditions in his favour he gets the vote though Play The Part ran his best race for some time at Wexford three weeks ago and is on the same mark. Kilganer Queen landed a Ballinrobe maiden last month and though not in quite the same form subsequently has to be considered and though Yamato is 0-7 over hurdles he's been running well on the Flat and should be winning soon.
