Verdict

There were clear signs that BUTTON ROCK is getting the hang of things when fifth at Clonmel on his latest start in December and, with improvement anticipated now back up in trip for this handicap debut, he gets the nod. Fool Me Once's latest effort was hardly inspiring but he is on a good mark judged on bits and pieces of form, while Rebel Cowgirl has to be taken seriously on the back of her breakthrough success at Punchestown. Pleasureofpressure also enters calculations.

  1. BUTTON ROCK (IRE)
  2. FOOL ME ONCE (IRE)
  3. REBEL COWGIRL (IRE)
