In depth

Verdict

Jonny Levins has his horses in good form and Dark Magic has the bonus of a track and trip victory. He scored again over a mile at Navan last month and isn't too badly treated despite a 4lb rise. Above Us Only Sky has been threatening to win for a considerable time and was only caught close home over a mile here in March but the fact that he's still a maiden after 31 starts tempers enthusiasm. Karl Thornton's horses are going well and NAKAKANDE may be capable of continuing the theme. She's no prolific winner but scored over the trip at Fairyhouse a year ago from 5lb higher and was placed on Polytrack in the UK. La Novia is a dual course and distance winner and has looked on the way back to form in her last two starts at Fairyhouse, the latest when she had Lady Sonia behind.
