Several of these enter the fray in good form including Logical Song, who earned top weight with a 7lb rise for a comprehensive victory over 2m4f at Cork. He didn't appear to stay this trip on his previous start but is given another chance to do so. RETURNTOVENDOR (NAP) is up 8lb after an impressive victory over 2m5f at Tramore but he has no problems staying today's extra distance and a double looks on the cards. Incitatum had been running between the flags before returning to hurdles with a very good run behind Tuzo on this track while Supreme Steel has been staying on strongly over 2m5f on his last two starts. Secrets Safe was a 20/1 chance when scoring at Limerick but it was certainly no fluke while Lizzies Champ made an impressive handicap debut in heavy going at Limerick, though that was over the minimum trip.
