MAGNIFICATION hasn't done as well as expected after a bright start and may be overrated on 75 but he's rarely been beaten far and looks the safest option here. Lady Volante is another who has disappointed over longer trips after a very good run over 7f at Leopardstown in June and she was well beaten on soft ground at Down Royal last time. Fluorescent Rock has looked moderate and finished last over 7f on soft ground at Galway earlier this month while Dinky Inty has been well beaten in all three starts. Bouquet Garni's only decent effort came on her only start over this trip on soft ground at Fairyhouse but she was well beaten in a similar race to this at Tipperary last time.
