    Verdict

    A typically small field for this mares’ Listed chase. MAGIC OF LIGHT beat Drinks Interval 14 lengths 12 months ago and a repeat is probably on the cards for Jessica Harrington’s eight-year-old, who ran the race of her life when second to Tiger Roll in the Grand National in April and had a pipe-opener over hurdles last month. Graceful Legend was the worthy winner of a handicap at Bangor five weeks ago but, along with Field Exhibition, has a mountain to climb at the weights against the Irish raider.
