Not many could be ruled out turning in and there were quite a few finishing off the race well here.
Kingmaster had taken them along and was only headed on the run-in as Prince Picasso swooped past to land the spoils.
Waited with in midfield the winner moved closer running to two out and jumped into second at the last. He stayed on strongly to assert on the run-in.
Trainer Eric McNamara revealed that he had been waiting for good ground with the gelding and had felt that he would win first time on fast ground off his current mark.
Penny's Bill had chased the leaders throughout and stayed on well on the run-in, having been ridden in second before the last. He may need further than two miles.
Farringdon was putting in his best work close home. Settled out the back he made ground up in the straight to sixth at the last and kept on with purpose on the run to the line.
He hadn't been disgraced in a fair event on his handicap debut at Fairyhouse last time and looks capable of scoring in the near future.
Norwich Boy chased the leaders and stuck at it well from before the last. He hadn't shown much when returning from a break at Navan last month and this was a much better effort.
One to note may be Is He Serious, who had shown very little previously, but seemed to be putting in some decent work near the finish here.
Dr Willie Martin, The Colt King, Jigalo, Jak Dream, Adajal, Shanballa and Dark Vocation all came out because of the ground.
