Forecasts

Batts Rock (5/6), Rock Road (9/2), Melly And Me (5/1), Trump Card (8/1), Chef Afef (12/1), Steel Cap (14/1), Piccolo Milano (25/1), Kilcolgan Rocket (33/1), Ballybeggan Peggy (50/1), Quick Getaway (50/1), Knockatoo Hill (66/1)

Verdict

BATTS ROCK is still learning the ropes over hurdles, but he was a good third in a deeper contest at Down Royal last time, and should have too many guns for these rivals, the best of which appears to be Melly And Me, notwithstanding a poor run when last seen. Rock Road could be a bigger threat given his second to Fayonagh over C&D last year, but this comes pretty quickly after his comeback effort, and there's a chance he'll bounce as a result.
  1. Batts Rock
  2. Melly And Me
  3. Rock Road
