Drumacoo (5/2), Call It Magic (11/4), Bay Of Freedom (10/3), Westerner Point (6/1), He Rock's (8/1), Portrait King (20/1)

A fine race which forms the centre-piece of a largely uninspiring midweek Fairyhouse card. Drumacoo is lightly raced for his age, but it'll be interesting to see what his new trainer Michael Hourigan can make of him now that he's sent back over fences, and it's clearly an obvious plus to have Barry Geraghty booked to do the steering. However, the horse to beat could be the 'hat-trick seeking' front running chaser CALL IT MAGIC. He'll be untroubled by the forecast testing conditions and looks guaranteed to relish the switch back to the larger obstacles following a spin over hurdles at Thurles in December.
