Youceeyouceecee completed a double in heavy going before stepping up in class off a higher mark at Listowel where he performed with credit. He can go well again but BUBBLY BELLINI, who has twice finished behind him in recent weeks though is better off at the weights, continues to defy the years and won with something in hand at Fairyhouse. A 6lb penalty makes things more difficult but the veteran is going for his 20th victory on his 137th start and can go in again. An Saighdiur beat the selection narrowly at the Curragh last August but hasn't won since though he's generally consistent at this sort of level and can go well again along with Cosmic Symbol, who has been in cracking form on soft ground all summer though not surprisingly has shot up the weights. He still holds Keep Believing on his latest victory at Galway and though Ecoeye ran his best race for some time at Listowel he ran poorly behind the selection at Galway earlier.
