BEN RUMSON (NAP) is better over further but was always travelling like a winner under Colin Keane here last month and, though 5lb higher, can give the championship-chasing rider another success. Pat Smullen gets the ride on Jock Talk for Gordon Elliott and his mount ran well in testing ground at Limerick last time. Jim Bolger has won this twice in the past four years so Pirolo, three times a winner on Turf, is respected having shown potential on this surface but Mohayyen was disappointing here last time after scoring at Ballinrobe. Glimmer Of Hope hasn't had much racing and did better here last week so there's every chance of further progress and he's on a very lowly mark.
