It should pay to have a high draw and be handy in this huge field so that may rule out Final Voyage, Tosen Wish, Stag Night and Blairmayne, all last-time-out winners and drawn very low. Laugh A Minute isn't badly berthed but he could do with some rain while the lightly-raced All Lies Ahead has also been racing on much softer ground. She beat today's rival Loingseoir a neck at Leopardstown and is better drawn than the latter while Ice Cold In Alex hasn't run since August. GUSTAVUS WESTON began last season racing off a mark of 115 and though he didn't win he ran well in Listed and Group company. He's never won over this far but was staying on strongly over 6f at the Curragh last month and has plenty going for him in the competitive handicap.
