Verdict
Winning point-to-pointer and bumper Call It Magic has run very well in both starts over timber and with further progress likely should get involved in the finish. FAIRLY LEGAL won a point at Dromahane just over a year ago and made a promising debut over timber at Cork which he put to good use when chasing home Hurry Henry here last month. He faces a stiff challenge here from Haymount but just gets the nod. The latter couldn't quite manage to get past Edwulf in a huge field over the track and trip last month and certainly won't go down without a fight. He had Tuzo around five lengths back in fifth that day but the latter is entitled to come on for the experience as that was his first start since landing a Wexford bumper in October.
