Jimmy Mangan has won this twice in the past four years so his five-year-old Winter Magic is one to keep an eye on under Mikey O'Connor. NEVSKIJ hasn't had much experience so did well to make all and see off the attentions of Final Gift at Cork with Wiseoverbury a long way behind in third. The slightly shorter trip should be in the winner's favour and he's taken to continue his upward curve. Schindlers Rock is a consistent performer but hardly ever wins and the remainder may struggle to catch the selection.
