King's War has posted some decent efforts in defeat over timber this season but this trip remains enough of a concern to overlook him. Similarly, Mountain Rock has been placed twice in three runs over these flights but has looked a bit short of pace in the finish and may again settle for a minor role. THERMISTOCLES won his bumper over this sort of trip and looks a promising recruit now for his yard. The booking of Ruby Walsh – a first for the yard – draws the attention still further and he is given the nod for a winning start over timber. Bosco Di Alco appeals most of the remainder, based on a solid effort at Roscommon in July.
