MAGIC DAY has been quite expensive to follow in maiden hurdles so far but she could easily have more to offer now now upped in trip for this handicap debut and she gets the nod ahead of Goodie Girl, who was again very much in contention when exiting late on at Leopardstown last time and she will be a big threat granted a clear round. Individualiste could be the pick of the Gavin Cromwell-trained trio and makes each-way appeal, while Catchabird will be interesting if she makes the cut.
