"This is a strong Mares’ Chase, but Magic Daze doesn’t have much to find with the top-rated mares on official ratings, and she goes into the race in good form. "Magic Daze is stepping up to two and a half miles for the first time in the Mares’ Chase, but I am hopeful that she will stay. "His stamina kicked in at Cork, he stayed on strongly from the second last flight to win well. "He is 4lb higher now than he was last year, but he goes into the race in good form. "Minella Indo was second behind Allaho in the same Clonmel race before he won the Albert Bartlett Hurdle, so I am hoping that history can be repeated. That form was obviously enhanced by Gaelic Warrior, who finished second in the Ballymore Hurdle on Wednesday, and by fourth-placed Anna Bunina, who finished second behind Queen’s Brook in a Grade 3 hurdle at Punchestown next time. "That was his first run since the Galway Hurdle, so hopefully he will come on for it. "He has a fair bit to find on Gala Marceau and Lossiemouth on that run, but he didn’t jump very well there. "I’m looking forward to riding Ballyadam too in the County Hurdle again. "He hasn’t won in two runs so far for Henry, but he has run well both times. He seems in great order and it would be brilliant if he could win it again. To go so close on him in 2021, then to go back last year and for him to win it like he did, it was unbelievable.
