Grecian Divine completed a double on Turf before finishing last at Naas and the 5lb extra she carried for her victories may have pushed her over the limit. Hueston is making his debut on the surface but generally shows good speed and is expected to be suited while Ice Cold In Alex started favourite when Grecian Divine won at Listowel and didn't show though looked unsuited by the heavy ground. Twist Of Magic has been setting a strong pace over much longer trips and managed to hang on over 7f at Down Royal. He was clear at this trip when tackling the same distance here a fortnight ago and will take some catching. Edgar Allan Poe hasn't been showing enough to consider but EVIES WISH (NAP) has looked a likely nursery winner in her recent starts, especially at the Curragh last time where she didn't get the run of the race. She should have no problems with the surface and gets the vote.
