Massaman had shown potential at Dundalk before scoring there in December. He reappeared last Saturday to beat a big field at the Curragh and a 6lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid. However, JAAFEL (NAP) started favourite in that race and was only beaten two lengths after having every chance. He has a big pull in the weights here which should be enough to reverse the form and take this. The lightly-raced Jazzy Dancer has shown enough in maidens to be considered while Magic Charm has been well supported on several occasions without getting his head in front. Pride Of Pimlico was engaged in the 7.20 at Dundalk last night.
