JACK HACKETT has been close to blooming on his last couple of starts and this could be the time he flowers. The gelding was only beaten a length last time at Downpatrick, will be fitter for that run and looks set to enjoy this step up in trip. Nero Rock struggles for consistency but does possess talent and he returns to the venue where he put his best forward when finishing runner-up over two miles. He also should appreciate this extra distance. Felino De Bersy has been quietly improving in his racing and would not need to advance too much more to be one of the contenders here.
