LOGICAL SONG (NAP) had been threatening to win for some time before doing so with the minimum of fuss at Fairyhouse, only his second start for Mags Mullins. He's up 8lb though that's unlikely to prevent another big run and he gets the nod. Cloudy Morning completed a double on good ground last month and had a bit to spare over this track and trip last time. She's been raised 6lb and though narrowly beaten by For Sinead at Thurles in October can reverse the form with the winner despite being slightly worse off at the weights. Oscar Buzz has been gradually dropping in the weights and produced his best run for some time at Down Royal earlier this month. The lightly-raced Galveston was in the process of running well on his debut for Gordon Elliott at Downpatrick in August when falling at the last so he can do better.
