It's over a year since Abbey Magic completed a double at Wexford and she makes her handicap debut. She was earlier well beaten behind Glendine River and the winner, who showed a bit more dash at Clonmel last week, is much better off at the weights. THE KINGS BABY made all for an impressive victory at Tramore last month and doesn't look badly treated for her handicap debut on a mark of 112 so gets the vote. Any further rain would help Open To The World, who was just touched off in heavy ground at Listowel, while Presenting Mahler, who has been in winning form over fences, reverts to hurdles on a 16lb lower mark and looks a threat.
