IT'S ONLY A NUMBER was again strong in the betting when having plenty in hand at Down Royal last month and can defy a hefty rise. Rock On Barney bounced back to form when a good second at Clonmel on Thursday and should go well again if this doesn't come too soon, while Casamari Abbey should do better on his handicap debut in this sphere.
