PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
ROMEO MAGICO shed his maiden tag in a hunter chase at Limerick at Christmas on stable debut, which was a notable feat in itself, and he has since backed up that performance by chasing home the mighty Ferns Lock at Thurles. That is rock-solid form, and he should prove too good for his rivals here. Vaucelet has not yet hit the same heights that he reached last season but is clearly talented, the mare La Feline comes here off a career-best at Bellharbour, whilst Early Doors is a former Galway Plate winner that could make his debut in this sphere.
