Verdict
KILLULTAGH VIC alternates between hurdles and fences and has been running in Grade 2 contests. He hasn't quite been at his best but this represents a big drop in class. Ball D'Arc is carrying a penalty for a Grade 3 victory in 2017 so has plenty to do but Westerner Point arrives in excellent form and produced his best-ever run when landing a Wexford handicap. The latter may prove the main threat as Call It Magic hasn't really made progress since completing a double in 2017.
