Blastofmagic is the only course winner in the line-up having scored over 5f and seems better over that trip. He had Ticks The Boxes a short-head behind over an extended 5f at Navan and there's nothing between them on these terms. Teddy Boy's only victory to date came over the minimum but the three-year-old THE COLA KID only just failed to catch Mowgli over this trip at Fairyhouse and can go one better as he was making his handicap debut and having his first start for new connections. Eacharn has been showing pace over 7f so should be suited by dropping in trip and Paddy Harnett's claim is a bonus.
