ROCKONLIAM has thrived of late, following a handicap hurdle success at Listowel with a smooth 14-runner maiden chase victory here 39 days ago, jumping soundly throughout. Whilst this represents a significant step up in trip, he remains open to further improvement and can go in again. Teenage Kiss and Rue Taylor, who fought out the finish of a handicap here in June head the list of dangers.
