This is usually won by one of the leading fancies with the biggest priced winner in 12 years starting at 9/2. ART OF LOGISTICS has competed at a much higher level and has won four times over fences including a Grade 3. He has penalties to carry but is the youngest and most progressive in the line-up and can return to winning ways after defeats in two tough handicaps. Bless The Wings won four times over fences for Alan King and has gradually improved since joining Gordon Elliott so should be capable of mounting a challenge but Jacksonslady was well beaten in the Kerry National here on Wednesday. Sizing Italy has been running on the Flat and there should be more to come from him over fences this season. He's yet to fulfil his potential but has time on his side and with Johnny Burke claiming 5lb he's getting plenty of weight.
