Magdoodle is a tough mare who was raised 8lb for her C&D victory in September but beat another huge field at Thurles last month. She's up another 7lb and will find this much tougher as will Selection Box, up 7lb for his success at Down Royal last Saturday. Duroob was entered over fences at Naas yesterday so this can go to LAPSE OF REASON. Andrew Lynch's charge was conceding 5lb to Irish Soul when runner-up at Fairyhouse last month and the winner has gone on to complete a hat-trick. Not So White had shown nothing until a much-improved run behind Killogan Lass at Gowran in September.
