Gua Du Large landed a Grade A handicap at Fairyhouse in November under Rachael Blackmore, who has opted for Champagne Gold here. Her mount hasn't taken to fences the last twice but was narrowly beaten by today's rival Drop The Anchor, who has been primed for another crack, in this a year ago and is only 4lb higher. Arcadian Sunrise landed a tough handicap at the Galway Festival before scoring over 2m at York. He's 10lb higher than that Galway victory and this looks a very competitive handicap. Cask Mate has some cracking form in top novice company and makes his handicap debut after chasing home Zanahiyr at Down Royal while Carrarea ran his best race to date when sent to Lingfield last month where the heavy ground probably didn't suit. He's closely matched with Broomfields Jeremy on earlier Fairyhouse form but it's time MAGIC TRICKS was winning again. Runner-up to stable companion Eskylane at Down Royal, he was only headed close home in the race won by Gua Du Large at Fairyhouse.
