Willie Mullins' improving mare MAGIC MCCOLGAN signalled she is ready to strike when a strong-travelling runner-up on her recent handicap debut at Naas so edges the vote in this cracking handicap. Hat-trick seeking Rokathir also has better days ahead of him and rates a big danger though, while the handily-weighted Built By Ballymore is also well in the mix. Showurappreciation, Nelson County and Maxi Mac Gold also enter calculations.
