Usually an informative Grade 2. MAGIC TRICKS created an excellent impression when quickening clear to make a successful hurdling debut at Navan last month, so he's taken to land this prize for last year's winning owner/trainer combination. Master Mcshee sets the standard on his convincing handicap debut win, while Ganapathi is another open to plenty of improvement for his top yard.
