In depth
Verdict
SONG OF PEACE attempted to make all over 7f on heavy ground at Leopardstown but couldn't respond when headed at the furlong pole. He looked in need of experience and should have come on enough to take this. Dixie Bluebell was in touch throughout and only faded close home at the Curragh last Saturday while I Am Magnetic has come up against a couple of useful winners and was staying on strongly over 5f at Tipperary. Tar Heel hasn't done much wrong and, though looking a bit exposed, can get into the frame again.
