EL MAGNIFIQUE attracted support at Bellewstown but didn't quite get the run of the race. He'll have come on for the experience and will be difficult to beat. Kirsapp would have an obvious chance on his debut run at the Curragh but has run moderately on softer going subsequently so wouldn't want any more rain. Lucky San Jore became upset in the stalls at the Curragh and pulled hard but led up to this trip over that 7f so he should be there at the finish. Pearle D'or, a half-brother to five winners, looks best of the newcomers.
