Lusis Naturea did better when stepped up to 2m3f at Downpatrick as did BLUE SKIMMER (NAP) but the latter was in the lead at this trip and with just a 1lb rise to contend with can gain his first success. Vocal Heir ran her best race for a very long time at Sligo earlier this month and wouldn't need much more but Zagnzig's victory here in May was over 2m4f and that looks his trip. Boytonrath started favourite when runner-up in this a year ago and can make a bold bid to go one better.
