VOCAL RESURGENCE (NAP) looks the one to be on here. Jim Bolger's charge had shown nothing before making his handicap debut in an apprentice race at Roscommon where he came home in great style on heavy going. Kevin Manning takes over today and a 3lb rise shouldn't prevent his mount going one better. As Bee See loves testing ground and won over hurdles here in April while Weightfordave has Colin Keane on board though his mount has yet to win in 22 starts. Port Moody has shown marked improvement since tackling heavy going and battled on gamely to hold the in-form Get Out Of Jail at Limerick so an 8lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run. High Kicker is consistent enough but hasn't won since 2015 yet is still on a higher mark while Binary Code is a maiden and tackling this trip for the first time.
