BLACKWOOD ROVER rates the pick in a weak contest. He ran some excellent races in defeat in 2015 and is racing off a mark several pounds lower. His latest outing saw him run well until lack of stamina took it's toll. John Jenkins' charge is dropped in distance and will be fitter for that run. Duhallowcountry is held by Miss Conway on last season's form. The veteran will arrive here in better condition than Mark Walford's mare although a market move for her would be interesting.
