Verdict
Magnetic Force was in good form for much of last summer and will be better for his comeback on the Flat here earlier this month so shouldn't be dismissed despite a big weight. Mistamel, a Flat winner in the UK, looks high enough in the weights for what he's achieved in maidens over hurdles but Stormey signalled an imminent victory when just touched off by Andratx, who was receiving 7lb, at Ballinrobe. Paul Townend was on board that day and he rides the four-year-old Not Touch for Mick Hourigan so he's one to note though it's another youngster, THEYDON PARK NAP), who looks a more likely winner. Joseph O'Brien's yard has bounced back after a quiet spell and this lightly-raced son of Royal Applause has shown up nicely in maidens on unsuitable testing ground. Fiesole had also been racing in similar conditions before landing a Down Royal handicap on good going and looks a threat despite a 7lb rise.
