The ground may play a part here - if the rain stays away, the chances of Bullowney and Tintown Robin would improve considerably, but as it stands preference is for top weight ROCKEY STORM who came back off a break with a good effort at Wexford last time. This step up in trip ought to bring out a bit more improvement and this lightly-raced 7-y-o can take this. Royal Roslea and Rebel Cry are others to consider.
