Bella Bliss showed her liking for the trip with a convincing victory at Down Royal though a 7lb rise makes this tougher. Ceroc has been allotted the same amount for his Cork victory where he was stepping up to 2m4f for the first time. He should improve again over this trip while Ladiam has no problems staying as she's shown in her two recent starts and remains on a feasible mark. Navigator Jack was well supported and finished a close third at Tipperary on Thursday. TANGENTAL has really found his form in recent weeks, following a Clonmel victory over this trip with placed efforts at Thurles and Naas, the latest in a huge field. He can get back on the winning trail.
