Asymmetrical appeared to enjoy stepping up to 2m3f at Cork and produced his best run to date so this even longer trip could be just what's needed. MIRACLE HOUSE was totally unsuited to the slow pace over this trip at Sligo and the run is best ignored as he looked a certain future winner on his earlier starts. He looks ready to take this though the front-running Soul Of Aran didn't quite last home over 2m7f at Downpatrick but ridden with a little more restraint should give a good account of himself. What An Article and Upthecats should be respected in an open contest.
