Magic Boum
A case can be made for a few of these but MAGIC BOUM signalled she is ready to go in again when an excellent recent Navan fourth so edges the vote from Thurles scorer Pebble Bleu who rates a big threat under a 7 lb penalty. Catchabird is weighted to go well too but her stamina has to be taken on trust, while Watching The Clock and Katie Daniels command respect too.
