This was run over a longer trip last year when Lord Lariat started favourite and won comfortably though he's on a 16lb higher mark. FAVORI LOGIQUE (NAP) completed a double over hurdles then beat Father Jed by 10 lengths over fences at Ballinrobe. He was clear when falling at the last on his four-timer bid at Sligo and, though 10lb higher, should get back to winning ways. Goodnightngodbless was narrowly beaten by Father Jed at Limerick but looks held by the selection while Down Royal novice winner Stansfield looks a bit high in the weights for his handicap debut over fences. Arrycan, an easy winner at Downpatrick in June, ran poorly the next twice and his latest run was over hurdles.
