FormscanBy Gary Carson - MAGICAL ZOE gets a nice chunk of weight from Irish Point here and has race-fitness on her side. The Shantou mare was a cosy winner on her return at Gowran Park in late September and is also a course and distance winner having claimed the preceding mares contest on this card last year. Irish Point is obviously a classy individual having landed a Grade 1 contest at Aintree when last seen in April. He looked to appreciate stepping up to two-and-a-half miles then and on his comeback run giving away 13lb to Magical Zoe could be a tough task over this trip. Sir Allen had some smart juvenile form last season and looks up to claiming prize-money in this.
