Verdict

ROMEO MAGICO has done well in hunter chases this spring and looks a very interesting recruit to the handicap ranks for Emmet Mullins. Rachael Blackmore has been booked and this unexposed 6-y-o can see off a strong Gordon Elliott contingent, headed by last year's winner Tullybeg and Frontal Assault. Recent Killarney National runner-up Stealthy Tom completes the shortlist.

  1. ROMEO MAGICO (IRE)
  2. TULLYBEG (IRE)
  3. FRONTAL ASSAULT (IRE)
