Verdict

Jimmy Two Times has made a relatively seamless transition to fences and commands respect as he seeks to follow up his Downpatrick beginners chase success in stronger company, whilst Call it Magic should be sharper for a recent spin over hurdles at Cork, has the blinkers applied, the benefit of Ruby Walsh aboard, and appears a worthy adversary. However, the standout contender is the improving NET D'ECOSSE. He has been very competitive all summer with cut in the ground, and whilst probably just struggling to get home over a longer trip at Kilbeggan last month, a reproduction of that form, or his previous 1¾L Galway third to Riviera Sun, ought to prove strong enough.
