Verdict

Johnny Feane won this last year and the lightly-raced Twist Of Magic, a nursery winner on ground with some give, looks to have been targeted at the race. Nothing To Lose is in excellent form and only 4lb higher than last week's victory at Ffos Las while Comhghairdeas went very close to losing his maiden tag at Tipperary. Rich History could be well in for his handicap debut but Empress Lyla is 8lb higher than her last winning mark, though she is returning to her best trip. Vocal Response disappointed at Leopardstown after his Cork victory and should be capable of better but the vote goes to THUNDER SPEED. Jonjo Stack's charge, a winner at Dundalk in December, couldn't quite get into contention on his belated reappearance in the race won by Hunaina at Leopardstown earlier this month but, with that under his belt , can regain the winning thread.
