Daigreen is a consistent type but this will be his first try over this trip and he looked to be in the handicapper's grip at Galway last time. Summer Knight has been placed over 1m2f but also does most of his racing over shorter distances while Salacious Sally and Roja Dove would probably prefer a more searching test of stamina. POSITIVE VIBES made all and found plenty when challenged by November Power at Clonmel earlier this month, eventually winning by more than four lengths. Arthur Moore's charge will probably be going hurdling soon but can take this en route while still a step ahead of the handicapper.
