Verdict

Magnetic Force beat Hunting Tower at Tramore last month and went very close to following up at Dundalk, though is 3lb higher here. He'llberemembered is no back number and will enjoy this step up in trip but WHITEOUT won over hurdles again at Bellewstown last month and won't be far away. He is preferred to Grecian Tiger, who has been raised 5lb since his second at the Curragh though the latter usually competes in a higher grade. Spacious Sky can also go well and recent winner Asian Wing can't be ignored, though jockey bookings suggest Encrypted Message is Tony Martin's first string.
