Lady De Vesci is 4-27 around here and has won from higher marks. She'd been hurdling before a couple of good recent efforts here and should be thereabouts. MAGIC CHARM has never won but caught the eye on her reappearance over this trip at Navan and started favourite over 1m4f here in September but failed to stay. Narrowly beaten off an 8lb higher mark here a year ago, he's taken to finally lose his maiden tag. Approach The City won two claimers here in the spring but Anfaass hasn't won since scoring here three years ago. Chimeric produced some decent efforts over a mile before failing to stay 1m4f here last week so this could be his trip.
