Verdict
Devils Bit has made steady progress over hurdles and scored at Wexford in March. He ran very well on the Flat late last month and will be fully tuned for this. But MAGICAL MEMOIR is doing really well and had no difficulty beating Scottish Boogie at Ballinrobe. She's still progressing and will be difficult to beat though Knight Eagle, who was well behind Devils Bit at Wexford, has run some fair races in defeat and should go well. Fammi Sognare didn't show much over timber on ground with plenty of give during the winter but has improved on the Flat recently and faster going could see her involved.
