Knockmaole Boy is having a tough time winning at this level and came up short again when second at Ballinrobe. Stablemate Canny Tom has had 17 starts over hurdles without success so far so the less-exposed FORT MONTAGU (NAP) is preferred. He won a bumper before finishing a close-up fourth at Listowel on his hurdling bow and gets the nod. L'andana finished a bit closer over these obstacles last time but Mountain Rock has plenty to find with the selection on latest running.
