Verdict

SECRET MAGICIAN failed to fire at Galway last time but he appeared to be working his way back to form when sixth of 15 in a stronger handicap than this over C&D on his penultimate start. The 4-y-o has dipped to a career-low mark and is worth chancing in this wide-open contest. Collective Power went close at Naas recently and he is next on the list, though Shoebox King and Ice Cold In Alex also merit respect.

  1. SECRET MAGICIAN (IRE)
  2. COLLECTIVE POWER (IRE)
  3. SHOEBOX KING (IRE)
