CORNAROYA ROCCO shaped as though this trip would really suit when dropping away late on over 23f at Ballinrobe last time and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark to gain a first success. Steps In The Sand rates a big threat though now she goes up in distance, while Hatfield Hammer and Goin' can also have a say in this open handicap.
