Bottom-weight ROCKINASTORM produced his most encouraging effort of the year at Windsor last time and he should prove more effective over this shorter trip, so he's fancied to add to his good Ludlow record. Ballycamus has to be considered from only 1 lb higher than when winning over C&D last time, whilst last year's winner Minella Blueway is also shortlisted.
