Mr Fenton and the more-exposed Druids Lodge probably have some improving to do and there could be a useful performer or two among the four converts from the point-to-point circuit making their debut under Rules today. Ballycash and Shrewd Tactics won between the flags and should be worth following. Reilly's Minor would have trotted up at Castletown-Geoghan in October had he not come down at the last but STOWAWAY MAGIC was impressive at Liscarroll early last year and Nicky Henderson has given him plenty of time to adjust to new surroundings – he gets the nod.
