The last two winners have started 25/1. On My Own won't be anything like that price after bouncing back to winning form at Killarney and a 4lb rise is hardly a problem as Luke Dempsey can claim 7lb. Magical Moon had been racing in handicaps before reverting to maiden company and gaining his first career success on his 29th start so he's a threat to all. COLDSTONESOBER (NAP) is much better rated over hurdles than fences and, though he's becoming expensive to follow, ran well enough at Downpatrick a week ago and his young rider's claim ensures he's well treated so he gets the vote. Roman Numeral and Fairy Court occupied the minor positions in the race won by King High at Tramore but neither have proved themselves over this longer trip.
