SOPHIA ROSE left her hurdles form behind at the first attempt over fences when second at Downpatrick a month ago and with the promise of more to come, she looks the answer. Magic Boum is no stable star but is sure to be well prepared for this chase debut, while Butter Fingers is open to improvement in receipt of weight all round.
