All eyes here will be on PEREGRINE RUN. Peter Fahey’s classy chaser has been in fine form lately and has also won over hurdles as well as a bumper. He’s having only his second run in this sphere and is difficult to oppose. Rocky Court returned to action with a second over fences here last month and should be winning again soon. Rock De Baune is also making his debut on the Flat but will strip fitter for a run over hurdles at Punchestown last month. Grove Hill’s two runs on the level have been in claimers but Tritonix was second in a maiden at Down Royal last month and finished ahead of Veinard and King's Song at Leopardstown subsequently.
