FormscanBy Gary Carson - MAGIC SADLER ran a cracker for Emily Costello at Clonmel three weeks ago and can go one better now. Pat Doyle’s charge was in fine form in point-to-points towards the end of last year, with three Open wins. He made even-money favourite I Walked The Line work for his victory recently, with the pair pulling well clear. A similar effort may be enough now. Keep On Dreaming was a touch disappointing at Limerick when sent to post favourite. He’s capable of better. Gale Force Jet has won two Opens recently and is another for the shortlist.
