Verdict
MAGNETIC FORCE (NAP) has won six times over hurdles and though never from a mark this high he ran very well from 2lb lower behind the in-form Mr Picotee at Wexford last week and can return to winning ways. He holds the four-year-old Jefferson Davis on a line through the winner though Eoin Doyle's youngster has the more scope. Both Double Speak and Zanjabeel were a long way behind the latter at Kilbeggan while Coolfighter hasn't been in the best of form but is gradually dropping in the ratings.
