Impressive Limerick winner SONG OF NAMIBIA can follow up that victory off this 9lb higher mark by taking the concluding race on the card. The selection was wearing blinkers for his handicap debut on that occasion and can get the better of last autumn's dual Dundalk winner To Choose in this contest. Aydoun is another of interest dropping in trip having finished runner-up at Killarney last time out.
