FormscanBy Tom Weekes - ROMEO MAGICO was beaten in a recent Open point-to-point but stands out, having won a useful Limerick hunters chase during Christmas and chased home Ferns Lock in January. A progressive six-year-old, he should have more 'boot' than these older rivals and copes with testing ground. Global Assembly has been placed in all three of his hunter chases but, at Thurles recently, finished 17 behind Boss Robin which had finished 10 lengths behind the selection at Limerick over Christmas. Last year's Bishopscourt Cup winner Fr Gilligansvoyage was well beaten in the recent Tetratema Cup and faces a tough task. It is difficult to know what reappearing Neo King achieved in winning a Portrush point-to-point by 17 lengths last March. He had pulled up twice previously with the runner-up making his debut, but he clearly likes testing ground. Hymie Weiss failed to win in 14 racecourse runs and steps up from winning a recent maiden point.
