Magnetic Force has all the power
Magnetic Force romps home in Tramore

Magnetic Force enjoyed his spin round Tramore as he hacked up in the two mile handicap.
Nothing was going better than Robbie Hennessy's charge in the final half mile as he crept into the race in mid-division.
Colin Keane guided him into second in the dip and from there the pair had Mr Boss Man well within striking distance.
Magnetic Force was ridden to lead on the home turn and he powered away from the toiling pursuers at the furlong pole.
Keane kept him up to his work as the 7/1 shot landed the first prize by a healthy seven lengths.
Robbie Hennessy said: "Our luck wasn't great lately but this lad always gets us back on the winning line. Every year he wins for the lads (Round Table Gang Syndicate) and they have been very lucky with him. He is in again tomorrow. We will see if he eats up and he might turn out again.
"He has won here before and was placed here before. He is not the most genuine in the world but Colin just coaxed him along and I think they went a bit fast early on and it suited him. The syndicate are from all over but they all work in St Vincent's Hospital, Fairvew."
Mr Boss Man, the 9/2 favourite, had no answer to the winner but did come in second. He was punted from 11/1 this morning. Hunting Tower completed the places at 12/1.
This was eight-year-old grey gelding Magnetic Force's sixth career victory on his 62nd appearance.
