Rocky Dreams, a five-times track winner, finished runner-up in this last year and though he has never won over a trip this far this is his level and he should be thereabouts. Denis Hogan also runs Majestic Colt, placed in similar company the last twice though better over shorter. James McCauley has four entries and places his horses brilliantly in these claimers. Lone Fighter, a Kempton winner for Godolphin, could be in here with a lowly weight on his debut for the stable who also run Elephant John, a maiden winner at Tipperary in August and another debuting for the yard and also on the surface. HALE BOPP (NAP) won here as a two-year-old and though mainly disappointing on Turf this summer after scoring at Naas he drops into this company for the first time and can get back on the winning trail.
