Verdict
TWIST MAGIC (NAP) made all over 7f at Down Royal then failed to last out a mile at Naas last week where she faded in the closing stages. She should have the pace for this and can return to winning ways. Dinky Inty also scored at Naas over this trip last week, with Fluorescent Rock behind, but it was in a poor claimer and she has more to do. Catch A Wave also made all over a mile at Bellewstown and again showed good speed over that trip on heavy ground at Listowel though he may not be capable of matching the selection's early pace. Hueston's best run came over the minimum in a Tipperary nursery and he didn't appreciate the much faster ground at Musselburgh last time.
