Magnetic Force has been raised 6lb for beating the consistent Esporao at Bellewstown and faces a stiff task in conceding weight to TIPPER ROAD, who was in front of him when they met at Galway previously. The latter has since run very well at Downpatrick and is running so well that he will take some beating. Blue Vic was behind Magnetic Force at Bellewstown and looks held while the only C&D winner, Charminamix, is running poorly. Rockys Choice was sent novice chasing last year and hasn't been seen since October.
