FormscanBy Dan McEvoy - DOYEN MAGIC should be capable of taking this small step up in grade in his stride after an all-the-way success in Kilbeggan on his penultimate start. He has gone up 6lbs in the weights for that victory, but he looked to have a bit more up his sleeve on that occasion. If his recent mishap, where he ran out in Downpatrick on Monday, didn’t take too much out of him, Philip Rothwell’s horse should have every chance here under Tiernan Power Roche. Chase debutant The Striker Dylan, begins in this sphere off a mark of 91, which has seen him be very competitive in a handicap hurdle at this venue. Liam Cusack’s seven-year-old is still a maiden after 12 starts. Finally, Luimneach bids to exploit a 9lb lower chase mark and with dangerous connections, this son of Fame and Glory may be able to turn his form around. The market should be informative about this contender.
