Always Waitin couldn't get close enough to Malaysian at Cork last month but was staying on nicely. Uno Miligre was having his first start for Denis Hogan when just failing to catch Alex D at Limerick a fortnight ago while Zozimus was conceding the winner 10lb when caught on the line in a Curragh nursery. BEARS HUG has been narrowly beaten in both starts over 7f here and with the extra certain to suit he gets the nod though newcomers Offiah and Soaring Sky should be noted as both are related to winners.
