Going - Good, good to firm in places. Fine and sunny

Formscan By Michael Graham - SAM MAGEE looks dangerous on his return to action with Ethan O'Sullivan claiming 7lb. He won over fences on his penultimate outing in Fairyhouse and has gone well fresh before. Stamina-laden assignments have seen Antrim Coast to good effect, notably when runner-up over flights at Cheltenham and when winning a hurdle contest at Wexford almost a year ago. The Gradual Slope's fifth place in the Killarney National entitles him to respect in this company as long as this race doesn't come too soon for him. Bottom-weight Emily In Paris is a consistent sort who is capable of banking a cheque especially in receipt of so much weight from her main rivals.
