It's All A Joke is better over an extra furlong though showed very good pace to score over 6f at Fairyhouse and a 4lb rise looks manageable. Ever Rock is 5lb out of the handicap which won't help while Betrayed is another better suited by 6f. Realtin Fantasy is 0-17 but hasn't been beaten far in similar company the last twice while Absolute One Right is 0-18. BLASTOFMAGIC is on a long losing run but is now 3lb lower than his last winning mark so gets the nod.
