Kosman made all under a 4lb claimer and came home virtually unchallenged at Naas and though up 10lb today's rider's claim reduces the extra. Giustino won so easily at Listowel that he went up 19lb but was then beaten under a 6lb penalty when odds-on over an extra furlong on this track. MAGNETIC NORTH's last victory was in a premier handicap on the track two years ago from 14lb higher. He hasn't been exactly consistent but could repay each-way support. Jungle Cove's only victory has been at Dundalk though his latest run at Cork has worked out well but The Alpha Man didn't enjoy soft conditions at Limerick on Sunday after scoring there last month. Sasvana gained a surprise victory over 7f here but disappointed when well supported at Down Royal. Zahee was engaged in the 7.25 at Fairyhouse last night.
