ROCONGA returns to hurdling having won a bumper since finishing third over timber at Navan in December. He may well be good enough ahead of Trainstation, placed in all four starts over hurdles so far. Catalaunian Fields ran below par at Limerick when last at the track but has every chance on his earlier placed efforts especially when second at Fairyhouse while Ballydoyle's Mentor ran out in a bumper here back in March and makes his debut over hurdles. Hallo Rosie and Whiskey No Ice make most appeal of the remainder.
