Verdict
CALL IT MAGIC (NAP) landed a point and a bumper before tackling hurdles and he's been making steady progress. His close second behind Fairly Legal here a month ago could be given a boost by the winner earlier and this looks a decent opportunity. A Genie In Abottle has also scored between the flags and made most to land a bumper here last month where he had to dig deep. It will be a surprise if he's not involved while Jodies Miss, a dual winner between the flags, will appreciate stepping up to this trip but Justforjames will need more than he showed on his latest start at Punchestown.
