Secret Magician had dropped to a winning mark when scoring by a neck from Livingston Range over the course and distance a fortnight ago but the runner-up can take revenge on the revised terms. The three-year-old Dundalk winner Not Even Close has produced two good runs in 7f handicaps on this track. Ice Cold In Alex gained one of his four track victories in this race a year ago and he's 2lb lower while Run Forrest Run beat a huge field on his penultimate start here in May. RUMBLED AGAIN has been racing over 7f and showing very good pace including when scoring at Gowran. He didn't handle heavy ground under a huge weight at Galway and his young rider's claim is a plus.
