Like Magic began his handicap career from a mark of 97 and he's gradually dropped to a more manageable 80 and could play a part here. Collingwood has been racing over shorter trips but has a C&D success to his credit last June when just touching off DINAH DOLL, who is 8lbs better off. The latter is still a maiden which is a bit of a concern but she ran another fine race when runner-up to Cinnin Oir at Galway and can at last gain her first success. Slapper was well behind at Galway and was due to run at Gowran last night. Statue Of Dreams is another long-time maiden but he was staying on at the finish over 6f at Naas last time and this extra furlong should suit.
