MAGNETIC NORTH returned to action in May with a short-head defeat over a mile on heavy ground here then beat a big field of maidens in style on much faster going at Leopardstown a couple of weeks later. He's very progressive and can go in again though Grace Rafaela, who scored at Dundalk last August, is surely better than she showed when last of four on her recent reappearance at Navan. Mazzuri won over the course and distance in May and has performed with credit in handicaps subsequently but Raintree's only victory was on heavy ground at Leopardstown.
