In depth
Verdict
Magnetic Force produced a much improved performance on fast ground at Down Royal earlier this month and a repeat would certainly see him go close. Point-to-point winner Banian attempted to make all over 2m4f at Clonmel and was only headed after the second last so this trip should prove ideal. He's on the short-list as is Captain Dash though he's facing fast conditions for the first time and hasn't been seen since January. Invincible Star has gone a dozen races over hurdles without winning and tackles this trip for the first time so a chance is taken on MOON PRINCE, a triple point-to-point winner who will like the going and who had every chance when falling at the second last in a similar grade handicap to this at Listowel last summer.
