FormscanBy Gary Carson - SAM MAGEE has another go over hurdles after missing a recent engagement over fences. The Jet Away gelding came good in style at Wexford in April and there looks scope for further improvement from him. He got a 7lb rise for his victory last time but still looks nicely treated back in handicap company. Foxfire Glow won twice on nice ground last summer and is interesting on his return to action. The Vadamos gelding looks on a competitive mark. Sweet Will has been knocking on the door over fences and returns to hurdling now off a higher mark.
