Steel Magnate has been placed four times over fences recently and reverts to hurdling where his stamina should be a big help. BANDRA BULLET hasn't had much experience but ran so well behind Garryowen Oscar at Sligo on Thursday that a repeat would see him very difficult to beat. Soul Of Aran, who finished fifth, looks well held but Mighty Snazy has run well in better company and looks a threat while Alexs Big Decision was having only his second start when a very good third at Ballinrobe and can improve enough to make his presence felt.
