Richard Fahey runs three, so the market may prove the best guide to their respective chances. Jockey bookings suggest Coolagh Magic may be the stable preferred but, of the newcomers, the US pedigree of Royal Big Night makes plenty of appeal and the Johnston juveniles continue to perform well. Kevin Ryan frequently introduces his better youngsters at this venue and therefore Three Card Trick is respected but at this stage we'll stay with the proven form of DUNKERRON. He cleared away in taking fashion on his second start at Windsor, should improve again and can make his experience tell in what should produce an informative contest for the future.
