NINGBO EXPRESS should win this with the minimum of fuss if reproducing the form of his second to Plinth at Ballinrobe over the longer trip. Tarlan will surely need this but Badged was second over track and trip on his latest start and Mo Rouge was only beaten a head over course and distance in April when an 80/1 chance. Cultram Abbey is unexposed but may need more time.
