The veteran Geological is an eight-times course winner though hasn't been in the best of form. Numidia had Boadicea Belle just behind when runner-up to The Bog Bank here last month where he was slightly unlucky in-running. Lasting Peace has only had six runs and will be winning soon judging by his second at Bellewstown while Kudbegood was in very good form over the winter though hasn't run since January and this looks competitive. PUNK POET is on a long losing run but the three-times track winner has dropped to a competitive mark as a result and can return to winning ways.
