Bank on Magic to hit the jackpot

MAJOR attraction at Clonmel this afternoon will be a massive jackpot carryover in excess of €25,000 from Fairyhouse on Tuesday.

Edward O'Grady's Endless Magic gets the nap to land the third leg, the two and a half mile Comeragh Beginners Chase.

The ten-year-old was in the process of a very solid performance at Limerick last time when fate took a hand.

He was upsides and, arguably, travelling stronger than eventual winner Euro Leader when falling at the final fence.

Euro Leader reappeared in the Grade One Powers' Gold Cup at Fairyhouse two days ago and, though only eighth behind Like-A-Butterfly, performed much better than his final placing might suggest.

The Irish Stallion Farms' EBF Fillies Maiden can go to Deyrnia, representing the in-form John Oxx yard.

She made a promising debut at the Curragh eleven days ago when three parts and half a length third behind Dermot Weld's well-regarded Bobs Pride and stable companion, Shalapour.

Several interesting newcomers form part of a 20-runner field for the Bumper, but the once-raced Aleatory is very much the one to beat.

The son of Accordion was all the rage to make a winning debut at Leopardstown earlier in the month, but everything that could go wrong went wrong.

He ran much too freely and hung to his right for much of the journey. Aleatory came very wide into the straight, losing a huge amount of ground, and yet was only beaten less than two lengths behind Charlie Swan's Good To Be King.
