Verdict

THUMAMA GLORY and Always Magic are closely matched and were second and fourth in a similar event over C&D 7 weeks ago. They could be the pair to focus on, with Ado McGuinness's charge fancied to bounce back to form and come out on top. Monologue will be suited by 6f and should be on the premises also.
