A nice prize has attracted a strong entry with Gordon Elliott triply-represented. MAGIC TRICKS has competed at a high level and was only beaten half-a-length by today's rival Hearts Are Trumps in a Grade A handicap at Fairyhouse in April when stable companion Eskylane was behind. The latter reversed the form at Listowel last month with Hearts Are Trumps well beaten. Glorious Zoff completes the trio and also performed well at Listowel last time. Homme D'un Soir is very progressive but makes his handicap debut in a tough event while Light Brigade's winning run came to an end from a 6lb lower mark at Punchestown in April. Yafordadoe has been going well on the Flat and looks well enough handicapped while Feelgood Island would have a chance if getting round as he's twice fallen when in a promising position.
