ROUND TOWER has been racing over further in recent starts but had some solid form in beginners chases at around this trip last autumn The selection carries top weight on his handicap debut here and is likely to be ridden positively in this contest. Robin De Roost features at the opposite end of the weights and can take second as he bids to complete a hat-trick while Ballyfinboy can claim third having put in a better effort than in previous starts this year when fifth at Wexford last time.
