FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Runner-up here when last seen in March, DOYEN MAGIC can go one better. The Philip Rothwell-trained mare won over hurdles here last November and, also has a chasing success to her name. A seven-year-old daughter of Doyen, she should appreciate the recent rain and, looks the one to beat. Off the mark over flights here last month, Springboard has scope for improvement on his chasing debut. A lightly raced son of Kingston Hill, the Michael McDonagh-trained gelding holds every chance of adding a second career success. Third at Killarney earlier this month, Toon Town is another that has to be respected. Although yet to prove his stamina for this trip, his breeding suggests that he should be suited to it.
