A huge variety of abilities for this charity event but if MAGNETIC NORTH, who completed a double on the Flat during the summer, acts on the surface he'll take some beating. Class Conti represents Willie Mullins and won a bumper in France before scoring twice over hurdles and fences while Chosen Mate is a Grade 2 winner over timber and finished runner-up in a Leopardstown maiden on his only Flat start. Whisperinthebreeze won a Grade A over fences on the latter track in February and is another to consider in a race where the market should tell us more.
