Magical Memoir was controversially disqualified after finishing in front of Days Ahead at Galway but should have few problems with that rival on today's terms. She looks certain to make a bold bid as does Tramore winner Knockcroghery but this looks a better race with several decent performers on the flat making their hurdling debuts. They include Total Reality and Al Dafa, both rated 75 on the level, and HIGH IMPORTANCE, a winner for Jeremy Noseda in July and sure to have been well tuned up by the in-form pair Tony Martin and Ruby Walsh.
