Magical Zoe, a Grade 3 winner at Down Royal and runner-up in the Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham, has had a break since running poorly in the Grade 1 Honeysuckle at Fairyhouse in April. She's rated 6lb below ANNA BUNINA and has to concede 3lb to John McConnell's mare, runner-up to Echoes In Rain in the Grade 1 Mares' Hurdle at Punchestown. Say Goodbye had some decent form over timber but made her mark when sent over fences in May, completing a double. Her stablemate Air Drop also arrives in winning form having landed a Down Royal maiden earlier this month.
