Verdict

Ruby Walsh has ridden his brother-in-law's CALL IT MAGIC to both victories over fences including at Ballinrobe last month where he had plenty in hand. He's up 8lb but looks to have every chance of a double. The Winkler was battling on over 2m4f at Limerick though is unproven on heavy ground but Barry Geraghty rode Riviera Sun to a course and distance victory in August and his mount won't mind the conditions. Dromnea was well beaten at Limerick last time but that was a much better race than this and his earlier success on heavy going at Listowel points to his chances despite a big weight.
